Streaming internet radio is a great way to listen to music online, and you can do it anywhere with a connection and a web browser. The two main internet radio stations are Pandora Radio and Last.fm. They both allow you to enter the name of an artist or a song that you like, and then they play a "station" of music that sounds similar or that they think you will like.
Both sites ask that you register, which is very simple, but will allow you keep your preferences so when you log in from another computer all your settings and stations will be kept. Pandora Radio is probably the simplest to use, which makes it nice to just log in and listen. Last.fm has a lot more stuff, including free downloads of mp3s, a personal library that you build as you listen, and some social networking features. Both are fantastic, so go give them a try.
