What is Internet radio? See the Digital Bits Technology Column at this link.

Many of the stations here will work fine with players like Windows' built-in Windows Media Player, but some require players like the free Real Player, the free (but ad-supported) Winamp player, or others.

Multistation Internet Radio Providers
These people act as a repository for lots of individual channels. Think of them as a very large box containing many many hammers. Only the hammers are radio stations. Does that make sense?

Internet Musc Radio Stations
These are individual Internet radio stations. Sometimes affiliated with a multistation provider, sometimes not. From jazz to techno to classical to indie and beyond, you'll find it here.

Sports
Sports. Need I say more?

Talk Radio
Not everyone wants to listen to music. There are plenty of stations where people are happy to talk to you.

Other Free Internet Radio Stations
Here's the catch-all category. If it's not free music, a multichannel provider, sports, or "standard" talk radio, it goes here.
