I like streaming sites for one good reason — you can sample full tracks of an artist’s work before you buy. OK, two reasons — I can listen to web-based music wherever I have a web connection, and not worry about copying my MP3s onto multiple computers. Works for me, anyway.

Unfortunately, one big streaming site, IMEEM, just got acquired by MySpace and was shut down, for whatever reason. Now I’ll have to find another site where I can stream my favorite airy fairy ambient tracks … sigh.

“Airy Fairy Ambient”

I might steal that.

Thanks for reading!

I don’t know what the fuss about music streaming is…
What happens when the internet goes down?

What if you want to burn some of that music off to a CD to perform with?

I like being able to grab all my music, sort them into hundreds of playlists, playlists for each type of music within a specific genre (ie. Dark Ambient, Dark Industrial Ambient, Airy Fairy Ambient etc).

Not to mention using up your internet download quotas while you’re at it.
