The Bang Music Hour (www.bangcartoon.com/musichour.htm)

right now there's 13 hours up there of stuff you've likely never heard before. (they will play consecutively if you let them )
All unsigned or otherwise unknown artists. (some of which are soon to be known,, I managed to find some pod-safe Bloc Party stuff, now they seem to be hitting pretty big. Another band I think will take off that I've been playing are 3rd Culture. Good stuff there.) If I may pat myself on the back a bit, I spend a lot of time hunting these bands out, and the show is good. I try to get 15 to 20 bands per show, and I don't much like to repeat them. I figure if a show has 20 bands, 15 of them will be new. (I do repeat things, but only things I think are really good, and never in consecutive shows.)

If you like it, let me know!

Holy smokes! What a great site!

the Bruce Springsteen concert from Winterland is one of my favorites.. it was bootlegged way back when and I managed to come across a cassette of it WAY back when,, like a 10th generation copy,, it was barely listenable but I still wore it out, and lo, there it is right there on that site.

Thanks for this link, made my day!

Wow that's a heck of a list! Thanks!

www.pandora.com is great as well, and of course there's always ES's own Bang.

I use stream tuner (linux). I'm not sure if there is a windows version. But it lists all of the stations on Shoutcast, Live365, Google Stations, punkcast.com, and Xiph.

Personally I use the shoutcast stations most since those stations show what song is playing in my media player (xmms right now).

But on shoutcast it breaks it down into Alternative (College, Industrial, Punk, Hard core, Ska), Americana (Blues, Folk, Cajun, Bluegrass), Classical (Contemporary, Opera, Symphonic), Country (Western Swing, New, Bluegrass), you get the idea.

There has to be something like that on Windows.

You can always just go to something like shoutcast.com.

You know, as odd as it may sound, the Launchcast radio available from Yahoo is terrific.
It is free, and it also has a premium version. I use the premium,, it's like 30 bucks a year, so it's very cheap. And man, what variety! It has a huge database of music that covers every genre you can imagine. the premium also has no commercials,, the free version does.
Using the pay version allows you to build your own station by rating the music it plays for you. So if you like a song, you can give it a rating of 1-100 and the higher you give it, the more it rotates into your playlist. (You can also rate artists and albums to increase the play of those aspects as well.) Then it will also play you more music from that artist and that genre, AND it will then search other users who have rated that song, and start playing you things from their lists as well. What you end up with is a very eclectic mix that continually updates and changes itself.
Lets say you really like the Cure.. you can go to the Cure's page and listen to a Cure station that will play mostly their music and other similar things.. Off the top of my head a Cure station would probably play a lot of Radiohead, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. And you can do this with practically every band they feature, and they feature just about everything.
It will also look into your genre preferences and play you newly released music from bands you've never heard before to keep fresh.
You can also choose 'influencers'.. for example, if you like a song it plays, the player tells you why it played it, and you have the option of seeing who else likes it, and you can listen to their station if you want as well. You can put them into your Influencers list, and the player will start using their playlist to add to yours.
I love it, and where I live the radio is sparse. I've been told to get XM or Sirius, and honestly, for just music, the LaunchCast is all I need. I listen to it every single day, and it constantly has me surprised.

Now....how do you capture and burn streaming audio from the net?

You probably want windows solutions. On linux you can use arecord. I think mplayer and audacity may have the capability built-in too. Never done it but I've seen threads about it.

Not sure about windows.

Not sure about windows.You're tech talking over my head. (Not hard to do.) I have a Windows XP operating system and am ready to start downloading. :D

I use a product called Replay Music.

http://www.applian.com/replay-music/index.php

It's not free or shareware, you do have to purchase it at a cost of $39.95 but it is the best of the products ive seen out there. Captures everything that comes from the sound card and ive yet to find a site that it can't rip music from, tag it and store it.

No worries :)

It's pretty easy to use, just remember that its a one licence product, meaning that you can't register it on more than one computer w/o buying another license.

Their support isn't bad either, as they got back to me with a technical question within 24 hours.

OK, so I had to bump this thread again to say this... today I spent the better part of the day listening to concerts on here and all I can say is


WOLFGANGS VAULT IS THE COOLEST WEBSITE EVER.


All HAIL Rocky21 for turning me on to this.

The first Stevie Ray Vaughn show on there is unBELIEVABLE.

i'm a big pandora.com fan, but yahoo radio is pretty good too, because it's totally customized and only gets more and more customized the more you continue to use it.
