Internet radio and services that deliver personalized streams of music -- and help you discover new music and artists --are growing exponentially. In fact, they seem to be becoming a viable medium for promoting recorded music -- possibly replacing the shrinking broadcast radio audience. That makes it pretty ironic that the recording industry's aggressive push for performance royalties could kill Internet radio just as it shows some promise of throwing the record companies a life ring.

What's happening is that Internet radio is entering a new phase of its development. At first it was generalized, as broadcast radio stations streamed their over-the-air signals online as a promotional device. Then it became specialized, as Internet-only "stations" were created to serve niche markets. Now it is being personalized and, inevitably, socialized.  Socialization is, of course, the melding of social networking with music sites. New music sites aren't immune, after all, from the pressure to be the next MySpace. Done well, the combination can introduce a new dimension to the search for new music and artists by letting you rate or tag tracks, share playlists, and listen on other people's channels. Done poorly, it can feel like a time-wasting invasion of privacy. Yahoo's LAUNCHcast selections are ratings-based, while Last.fm and Tagworld encourage you to add descriptive tags to tracks.
In this roundup, I look at six current Internet radio sites in terms of how well they deliver music you want to hear, and how well they help you find new music to add to your personal playlists: Pandora, Last.fm, Slacker, TagWorld, Live365.com, and LAUNCHcast. (Note: Since this roundup was written, I've come across several other noteworthy services, which I cover in a follow-up 
Most of these sites give you a "love it/hate it" option -- click "love it" and favorite tracks show up more often, "hate it" and banned tracks are supposedly gone forever. But all of the sites get more sophisticated than this, and each does it a little differently.
A note for those who dislike ads: While most of these services are drenched in advertising, generally I didn't find it offensive, Why? Because it's appropriate: If you hear something you really, really like, you just might want to buy it. Paradoxically, though, this formula of listen-and-buy -- the same formula that has helped broadcast radio and the record companies prosper together for decades, -- could be a potential casualty of the recent rate-setting pronouncements by the Copyright Royalty Board, which imposed massive increases in performance fees on Internet radio stations (but not against broadcast radio) as a result of music-industry lobbying.

Listen to radio streamed direct from the internet, without switching on your PC.

Digital radio sets have been on sale in the UK for several years, yet DAB still hasn’t totally captured the public’s imagination. This is largely because of uncertainty over when analogue radio broadcasts will finally cease – the date has been pushed back several times now – and continued satisfaction with traditional broadcasts on the FM and MW channels. DAB isn’t the only way of listening to digital radio stations, though. Anything broadcasting on the web can also be picked up via your PC. And you don’t even need to use a computer if you have a set capable of connecting to your wireless network and streaming the broadcasts directly, such as the Orange Liveradio. Features: Orange isn’t a name you’d normally associate with manufacturing its own hardware, and the first thing that should be pointed out is that you don’t need to be an Orange customer to use the Liveradio – all you need is a wireless broadband connection. The device can easily be moved around the house so you can position it wherever you want and therefore aren’t tied to your PC if you want to listen to online broadcasts. There are only a few stations pre-set into the Liveradio so you’ll have to trawl through lengthy menus to find the more obscure channels. However, it’s easier than tuning an analogue radio because once you’ve found the station you’re after, it’s easy to save the information so you don’t have to perform the same process again. Lookswise, the design is modern and functional, but it’s not going to win any awards. Performance: One major problem with the Liveradio is that it doesn’t have an on/off switch. There is a standby mode, but this can’t be operated manually. This means you need to unplug it and remove the batteries to turn it off completely, which is a major nuisance. The sound quality, though no match for a posh stereo system, is perfectly adequate for a device of this size. Ease of use: Setting up the Liveradio is a simple case of selecting the correct wireless network and connecting to it. The Liveradio should automatically detect the type of encryption used on the network, however if you use WPA2 encryption, you’ll need to downgrade to WPA1 or WEP as the Liveradio doesn’t currently support it. Orange has promised that this will be fixed in a future firmware upgrade but it’s a bit of an oversight that the device doesn’t currently support the most secure level of encryption. Value for money: The Liveradio is priced at the low end of the Wi-Fi radio price spectrum and therefore offers good value for money. However, with many more such devices hitting the market, you may find that prices in this category start dropping in the coming months. We predict that Wi-Fi radios will be big sellers this Christmas, so it might be worth waiting to see if prices plummet further.

Verdict

This is a good-value, easy-to-use product and, despite the unremarkable design, it has to be said that being able to listen to online radio broadcasts anywhere in range of your wireless network and without the need of a PC is a big plus.
Yet there are just too many problems with the Liveradio to overlook. At a time when Wi-Fi users are being encouraged to secure their networks to the best of their ability, not supporting all Wi-Fi encryption types seems short-sighted. Also, many people will balk at the absence of an on/off switch when rising energy prices and adopting green issues are so high on our agendas.

anybody who wants to know what is the on-screen definition of Bollywood (read popular mainstream Hindi cinema), Dabangg is truly text book fare. It’s loud, crazy, zany, exaggerated, larger-than-life, almost nonsensical, totally make-believe, comic book like, complete kitsch, generously peppered with the mandatory desi tadka (garnishing) of songs and dances that keep popping out of nowhere and is literally oozing with star charisma. Most importantly, it’s not meant to make sense. It’s only meant to entertain. And entertain, it does in overdoses. No, this isn’t meant for people who are looking for different cinema. Nor is it meant for the viewer who likes movies to appeal to his head. Yet, for those who celebrate and serenade the `silliness’ of mainstream masala movie lore and swear by its popcorn quotient, Dabangg is the greatest getaway of the season.

Debutant director Abhinav Kashyap chooses to walk the road that makes a complete U-turn from brother Anurag Kashyap’s edgy, hard-hitting, realistic cinema and opts for a signature tune that re-invents the age-old formula in aaj ka idiom. Plot-wise, the film might make you cringe with it’s hackneyed tale of two squabbling step brothers who have the arduous task of keeping the great Indian family together. And guess who’s making life even more difficult for the parivaar? Who else but the local goon (Sonu Sood) who tries to play one brother (Arbaaz Khan) against the other (Salman Khan).

But all this brouhaha about a non-story is truly irrelevant, because there never was supposed to be a story in Dabangg. The only factor that was supposed to be there was Salman Khan, Salman Khan, Salman Khan…followed by some more Salman Khan. So just sit back and savour the star power of an actor who chooses to enunciate the role of a thoroughbred entertainer. Salman’s corrupt cop act as Chulbul Pandey, playing Robin Hood in a semi-rustic environment is so engaging, you are willing to forgive and forget everything else. As soon as you begin to realise the film hasn’t moved at all in terms of story, bingo! There comes Salman swinging his bare fists around, ducking bullets, spewing mischievous threats and abuses, making eyes at his girlfriend (Sonakshi Sinha), creating chaos in his dysfunctional family and breezily breaking the rules with his brattish ways. And in case you still tend to get a bit restless, there is the Pelvic! Watch him gyrate in sync with all those uproarious tunes and you’ll be down to your last coin, having flung all the loose change you have on chartbusters like Munni Badnam Hui….And finally, if you still want more, there’s the shirt-ripping sequence, where our desi hulk gets to showcase his sculpted torso without having to unbutton it. It simply tears on its own! Now didn’t we tell you Bollywood films have their own undefinable logic….

Dabangg is designed as a vehicle to showcase the star charisma of Salman Khan and the actor literally hits bull’s eye. He has a ball on screen and makes sure you join the party too. Aiding him are two special factors: the excellent action choreography by S Vijayan (watch out for all of Salman’s slow motion antics and the Matrix bends and leaps that are sure-fire taali-seeti fare) and the foot-tapping music score by Sajid-Wajid and newcomer Lalit Pandit. The locales of the film too are exotic and re-create the hinterland ambience that is becoming so popular in Hindi cinema today. Set in a small, sleepy, one-horse town in Uttar Pradesh, Dabangg creates an alluring canvas of decay and dissolution, even as it celebrates the ordinariness of the aam aadmi’s life.

In terms of performances, the show is definitely anchored by Salman Khan, but debutant Sonakshi Sinha too stands tall. As Salman’s silent, shy, yet gritty girlfriend, she has great screen presence and a spontaneous charm. Bad guy, Sonu Sood too ends up as an interesting adversary to our local Robin Hood while Arbaaz Khan articulates the angst of the underdog brother. But hey, in the end, Dabangg is not about theory and analysis; it’s only about the Zandu Balm effect of cinema: completely home grown, hybrid, purely desi stress-busting therapy. Period.
