10-2010 | Four music subscription services compared | iPod & Entertainment | Playlist | Macworld
by garret"While many people continue to consume music by purchasing it—on CD or via electronic emporiums such as the iTunes Store and Amazon.com—some also use music subscription services to get their daily musical fix. Once confined to the Web, many of these services now make their tuneful content available via iOS apps. Among them are Mog, Napster, Rdio, and Rhapsody.
But what—other than more music than you can listen to in a lifetime—do you get for your money? Tune in to find out."

3VOOR12 - Luisterpaal - Full Album Streams
by garret & 1 other"This is a Dutch site, in Dutch, leaving me with next to no idea what is going on here--except that, clearly, this site at any given time hosts a bunch of cool album streams. It's all very legal and above board, as the Luisterpaal (which might or might not mean "listening pole") is part of something called the VPRO, which is a television and radio network in the Netherlands. As far as I can see you'll find streams here that you won't anywhere else, and they change with unrelenting regularity. Best of all, the people behind this have really eclectic--and excellent--taste. Highly recommended"
