    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    It says I need an invite for the free 'un.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    It took some time but I got my invite (you have to ask for one ) anyway I'm listening now. Not bad.

    Well, its not available to IP addresses that appear to be from the US.

    Anyway, on the topic of 'free music' I'd point out pandora.com, an internet radio of sorts. No interruption of music with commercials, but like radio you can't choose exactly what song will be played, though you can fine tune exactly what type of songs and genres are played on separate channels. And some songs ( very few) they don't provide.

    Yes, Pandora is awsome

    Last.fm is good too, it doesn't have the annoying skip limit Pandora has and seems to have a bigger selection.

    Spotify looks legit, having obtained non-US licenses, according to their press releases. So we'll throw this to the Kingdom of Peace and Love (aka: Frontroom) to share the non-controversial musical info.

    I caution posters to continue to not link directly to 'free music' services they may have found. Such conversatiions, helping another member hook up to them, should be conducted via Private Message (PM) versus by these publicly-viewed (and google-archived) forums.

    Enjoy.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    In fairness, the most commonly used "free music service" has been around since 1906. Seems that folks like Pandora and Last.fm and now Spotufy are all just building on that 102-year-old tradition. Nothing untoward there.

    They improved it, removing the annoying feature:
