How to make free internet radio station?

I like listening to an 80's radio station while working on my computer, but the sound skips (see details)...

  • when I do certain functions. I have a new laptop and the fastest internet Qwest has to offer. Is there a way to make it stop doing that? Also, does this mean I am bogging down my computer and I shouldn't multitask with a radio station? I don't want to chance a computer crash. The task I am doing, in case it makes a difference, is posting my art on my website, but I notice it is skipping as I write this also. Thanks!

  • Answer:

    it sounds like you are overloading your internet connection. when your applications start sharing your connection, it sometimes starts piling data on faster than it can transmit and recieve - hence dropouts in the radio signal.

Try listening to Pandora, maybe it's your station?

Hm. Didn't think of that. Thanks. Guess I'm out of luck. I don't like modern music stations. Thanks for the input!

you might check to se if there is a decent on-air station, or a decent cable station...

Hm. I'll check that out. I was listening to Live365.

With Pandora you can pic an artist or song and it'll will pull in similar songs/ music. It's free.
