Tune in with TUN3R
Looking for internet radio, why not tune in to TUN3R. TUN3R.com is like a really big radio dial for internet radio. You can either "dial" a station using the graphical interface, browse stations by genre or language or search for a station using keywords like artist or track [plus genre and language].When tuning, what you're hearing is a reduced "fair use" sample taken from the station you have selected. The sample has been down-converted and truncated to two minutes to comply with copyright law and intended to enhance searching and browsing, and not as a substitute for the broadcaster's own high-quality stream.
The site also features a boss link [which can also be activated by hitting the 'b' key on your keyboard] designed to be a quick and easy way to disguise your use of TUN3R, and give people around you the distinct impression that you're doing real and meaningful work and are not just goofing off on some internet radio search engine.
However, if you do get caught by your boss or a nosy colleague, feel free to provide them with this clever explanation of what you're up to:
"I was just reviewing some alternative approaches to data visualization. The approaches taken by this site could easily be parlayed into a dashboard that may make it easier for us to execute on fact-based decisions both in an operational and strategic capacity."
Sounds good to me!

Listeners visiting TUN3R.com will now be able to visit any one of the ten new “City Dials”. Each City Dial
displays a tiled mosaic of all Webcasting AM/FM stations for the given city. Stations are ordered as they
would be on a traditional AM/FM tuner. The cities featured are: Toronto; New York City; Nashville; London;
Paris; Glasgow; Stuttgart; Rome; Seoul; and Buenos Aires. Each City Dial can be accessed via a dedicated
web address (e.g. nyc.tun3r.com, london.tun3r.com, paris.tun3r.com). For some cities, all AM/FM stations
are available as streams. Additionally, over 350 Internet stations are featured adjacent to the local AM/FM
stations. For the first time, listeners will be able to seamlessly browse between terrestrial and Internet radio.
