I listen to the 16kbps stream (Quite nice, actually) from zmonline.com. It sounds better than my radio (Which sits right next to my electrically noisy computer). I'm on 56k, so no charges for me. If you're on high speed internet, there are many radio streams that have been mirrored to local New Zealand hosts so you don't have to pay for the bandwidth. I think one of the ISPs has a selection.

What are you guys using for internet?  Listening to radio over the web must be chewing through hundreds of megs a day?

My mp3 collection is getting rather stale so I've been listening to Virgin Radio streamed from the UK at around 96kb/s with the Ogg Vorbis format.  You obviously need broadband for this one.  It sounds perfect, crystal clear like your in the studio.  There is a 32kb/s low-fi stream as well for modem listeners.

Hey guys,
 
What music do you guys listen to when you code? My collection is looking a little shabby, and so is my code, so I thought I'd beef up both at the same time by getting some rad tunes to code by. Reccomendations?
