Pandora at work via desktop system and on the road via laptop. At the house, not so much as I'm still not that crazy about the sound quality of 'net radio vs. my other options.

I use Last.FM. I like that you can listen to your Last.fm library or radio. I also like that it's muti-channel. Like David stated about Pandora, the quality is hit and miss. Most sound pretty good to me.

I stream via my XBox 360 through my HT. My biggest issue is, now and then you get a song with a mix that is, to say the least, strange.

Okay, I made a mistake. Above I stated that Last.FM has muti-channel... it does not !

It appears that, the two things which lead me to this conclusion, fooled me to thinking as such.

1) As previously stated, I stream the site via my Xbox. Which is set for (of course) surround playback. So when I switch to streaming music, my processor was still showing Dolby Digital 7 (I have a 7.1 setup).

Under normal conditions, my processor will default to the current stream and display such.

2) My left and right speakers image better than I give them credit. :B
I was without a doubt certain, several tracks where multi-channel. When infact, nothing but the left and right speakers where reproducing sound.


So, sorry for any confusion my previous post may have caused. ops:
