The site is pretty comprehensive; if they don’t have what you like, you can start your own station. With already four million listeners a month, Live365 is quite popular. They have official licenses with music industry organizations like BMI and they make sure that all content is DMCA compliant. It’s worth checking out especially if you love music.

The site could use more modern community features; the forum looks rather old and out of date. How does Live365 ensure that all stations are compliant?
