The sites I check out for audio books are:
♫ LibriVox catalog- The only downside is that I like to search by topic, so this takes a bit of time to go through
♫ Audio Books For Free - has the books broken down into fiction, non-fiction and other subcategories
♫ Free Classic Audio Books - has only three pages, but I found one I liked and downloaded
♫ Project Gutenberg Audio - a long list, organized a bit better, but not by category
♫ Learn out Loud - some audio and video that can be downloaded. Some hard to find audios as well
Podcasts for news, concerts, info:
♪ NPR: Podcast directory - Some good stuff from the last couple of years.
– Favorite: Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!
♪ Podcast directory - quite a variety, has many podcasts that are old and haven’t been updated in years.
♪ This American Life - “There’s a theme to each episode, and a variety of stories on that theme. It’s mostly true stories of everyday people, though not always.”
These are other sites that I use online:
Music
♫ Live365 - A wide variety of stations from movie scores to military radio, from sermons to wedding music; they seriously have it all. The only downside is that the popular stations fill up early and you have to buy a monthly VIP pass to get access and not have any ads
♫ Yahoo radio - Good for both radio and videos, some free stations, play mostly the same popular music unless you set up your own station, which is free
♫ Pandora - Easy to use music site, able to fast forward (a few times), seems to work on most any computer.
♫ Last.FM - The competitor to Pandora. I find it frustrating to use, but many people swear by it. No commercials and can launch in it’s own little radio window.
♫ Garageband.com - A reader turned me on to this site, a good source for independent music artists. Not always categorized correctly in my opinion, but generally well done. You can be notified of new songs uploaded by your favorite artists.
♫ Free MP3's from Amazon.com - There are some good finds here, I like the classical ones myself, but they have rap and blues, etc.
♫ Radio Station locater - If you prefer to listen to your local station on the computer and don’t remember the call letters. Appears to be updated well, as they don’t have a local smooth jazz station that went off the air a few weeks ago. They have AM and FM station, but not all stations have an online presence.
♫ Word of Truth Radio - Great site for instrumental christian music for hymns and modern music.
Talk/News
♪ BBC Radio - Music and News from around the world. A great way to get away from the same old thing.
♪ NPR - Most NPR stations are available online as well. Find your local one and tune in.
Old time Radio
♪ Old-Time Radio Shows - Listen to hours of X Minus 1, Burns and Allen, The Shadow, Gunsmoke and more. Hasn’t been updated for a few months.
♪ Radio Lovers - They have a nice list from Unsolved Mysteries, Wings to Victory, Father Knows Best and more
♪ Old Time Radio News - Among some of the items they have; you can listen to old news stories and major events
♪ Radio Nostalgia - Regularly updated site with old time radio shows, game shows, old sporting events and more. Downloadable to your ipod, cd, or computer for listening to later.
