So what are you in the mood for? The Internet has a tremendous amount of options available for the Web radio listener. Use the following steps with Windows Media Player to begin hearing what the Internet has to offer.
Open Windows Media Player from the Start menu and select Radio Tuner from the menu along the left side of the screen.
This brings up the broadcast view.
Type in the genre or artist you're looking for in the Search box on the right side of the player window, and click the Search button.
Alternatively, you could choose a station from Microsoft's featured list on the left.
Select a radio station from the list that's returned by Windows Media Player.
If you can't find what you're looking for, try entering different keywords and see what you get. You're more likely to find popular acts than obscure treasures, but anything is worth a shot. Be aware that in some cases, you may have to register with a site or pay a membership premium to get access to the station. You may also have to sift through advertisements that help pay for the maintenance and management of the site. Nothing is totally free, even on the Internet.
