There’s such a variety of radio stations for you to listen to online that you could listen to a new one each day. But how do you find the good ones? The key is to look around in several different places.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    First and most obvious, try the big name places to find radio like online MP3 retailers and satellite radio subscription services. These may cost some money in some instances.

  2. Step 2

    Search by radio format. You can search for “top 40,” “rock,” ‘hip-hop,” “Christian,” or “classic rock” stations, just to name a few. If you don’t like your local radio station but still love the country music it plays, try a similar one in another city.

  3. Step 3

    You can also find exclusively online radio stations. The good thing about these is that some of them don’t air commercials at all. A simple search for “online radio directory” should bring up a list of Internet radio station directories. There are many of these online to help steer you in the right direction.

  4. Step 4

    Sometimes a music site or magazine will have a review or recommendation of an online radio station its listeners would appreciate.

  5. Step 5

    Visit the website of your favorite artists to see which radio stations, both online and terrestrial, are playing their music.
