How do I listen to the radio online? (for free)
I'm out of touch with today's music and want to start listening to chart music again to know what's out there. Itunes used to do free radio but I don't know what's happened to it... can anyone recommend some good sites?

What sort of music? If you want pop/ chart stuff it would be Radio 1/ Capital or similar. Listen online on tunein radio or on iPlayer radio for BBC stations.

My other advice is dont feel obliged to have to keep up with pop and chart stuff. I finally let go when I stopped DJing and embraced the fact Im stuck in the 90s, music-wise. Never felt better.
There's a world of music out there. |

The trouble is, if you're "stuck in the '90s", you'll miss most of it.

I use www.surfmusic.de
It allows you to listen to radio world wide with quite a simple interface, which comes in handy as I'm quite partial to American Rock radio. |

Yeah, there is that. I dont even listen to much music-based radio any more either.

I've got a few IP addresses and URL's saved as a Winamp playlist for direct streaming which works quite nicely.
Radionomy is another good source for online radio. |

Two good ones are: KXCI (tucson, my hometown) and KEXP (seattle).. both can stream from their websites. Right this second, KEXP is playing Rose Window - Native Dreams (which sounds like a resurrected Jane's Addiction) and KXCI is playing Glass Candy - Nite Nurses (which sounds like a resurrected Runaways, ha!) |

You should check out community radio stations... they play a wide variety of indie rock.
