broadcast -
well, actually "narrowcast" - right from your desktop and other's
can tune in
if they share your taste in music...'cause there's always people
who have things
that both the listener AND the 'caster don't have and can share.
Whether it's corporate rock or ambient field recordings,
it's always out there coming IN
The concept isn't quite as personal as yours, -- it's a commercial
service customizing a feed to your taste, not an individually
produced station, -- and some are lacking in variety and depth, but
there are a few pretty darn good custom radio stations out there now.
Some even allow you to "share" your profile with others.
