on listening to music

[robbat2]

Lately I've found myself not listening to music in my collection, but instead live shoutcast streams, mainly from the scandanavian regions. (Rise FM: http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=838&file=filename.pls). There is just something that these stations have that isn't in my massive collection of MP3. I can't put my finger on it, but it's either variety or total randomness, partially coupled with the fact that I can't control the next song at all.
