My favorite internet radio station is Jango. In addition to being able to select specific styles, and it finds selections and plays them, there are no commercials and its completely free.
What is a radio station doing in my astronomy column? And why did I even list it as one of my favorite free software tools?
When I am outside at night observing, with just me, my telescope and the clear night sky, what could be better than listening to the ethereal sounds of music like from Celtic Woman? Or Enya?
Then again, when I am working in the lab, it’s nice to have some simple background music. With Jango, I can program the type of music and it finds random selections and plays it, all commercial free.
Of course, listening to internet radio requires wifi access. When observing at home or even at UCAO, I have great internet.
