Listen to Free Online Music to Make Your Home Business Work more Fun
November 9, 2008 by Jean Murray
How many hours a day do you spend sitting in front of your computer? If you are like me, you spend many hours looking at a computer screen. Do you listen to music? I love listening to music, and my tastes keep changing depending on my mood. I have found two great sources of free music on the Internet to listen to while I am working. Here are the details:PANDORA. I have been listening to Pandora for several years. In Pandora, you create stations with the kinds of music you like to hear, or you can use the pre-set Pandora stations. As you listen, you tell Pandora what songs you like and what songs you don’t like. You can add music to a station, by adding an artist or song or album.
I have several stations on Pandora: a New Age/relaxation music station, a classical station, a couple of holiday stations, a 50’s rock and roll channel (I titled it “At the Hop”) and a collection of my favorite contemporary music. So I can change what I listen to as my mood changes or by the type of work I’m doing. If I want to get energized, I listen to the Rock and Roll station; if I need to concentrate, I listen to the relaxation or classical station.
Musicovery. My son told me about this new station, which allows you to select music according to your mood. You can select Calm, Energetic, Positive, or Dark. You can also select a decade, and a genre (Jazz, R&B, Rock, World, Pop, Regaae, etc.). This site also allows you to select by country and language. You can play the music on your Wii or your iPod too.
Why are these serices free? Well, as you might expect, they have ads on them, or you can click on the song and buy it or the whole album. I figure I’m not really watching, so I can ignore the ads.
Do you listen to music while you are working? What do you listen to?
