It can be surprisingly hard to find a good, free, web-radio that is not polluted by annoying publicity or suffering from a limited playlist. This explains in part why Lounge-Radio.com is so great. Based in Switzerland, Lounge-Radio.com streams uninterrupted, beautiful music hour after hour, with exclusive radio shows at set date and times.

The music is pure cool. Quote the website: “Enjoy this light summer-plate consisting of fresh beats of nujazz - dipped into the warmth of Brazil electro and finally served with a breath of ambient.” It is also a great place to find soft and groovy hip-hop and dub music.

It is hard to explain how cosmopolitan and hip listening to this radio makes me feel. An excellent shoutbox on the home page allow listeners to drop a line and share the good vibes. Warm greetings abound from all over the world, connecting you to an international community of music lovers and, well, people who just want to mellow.

It is also strange how closely I associate this radio with the weather. Whether it to get comfort from a rainy day or to chill in beautiful sun, I always feel like it is a perfect time to enjoy Lounge-Radio.com.

So why don’t you go ahead and try the Lounge-Radio.com experience! It offers high or low bandwith audio streams in Winamp, Quicktime, RealOne or Windows Media Player format so you are bound to have the proper software [1] already installed and ready to go. :)

Footnotes

 [1]From personal experience, I recommend using RealOne for its handy LivePause feature that allows you to play back clips from live streams (within limits) or Winamp for its small footprint.

  • Lounge-Radio.com fund drive all through February

    4 February 2006 21:12, by Thierry Gagnon

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE LOUNGE-RADIO HOMEPAGE:

    Running and financing LOUNGE-RADIO.COM by ourselves has become, despite the webradio’s successful history, an impossible thing to achieve. The costs of providing you high-quality sound 24/7 are high. To date, we have not been able to convince monetary sponsors to support our idea and project.

    This has lead to the decision to merge together with Swissgroove.ch, one of Switzerland’s biggest music-radio on the Internet. This does save us both some costs, on one hand.

    On the other hand, royalty fees have gone up in Switzerland and we are also forced to pay money for our server-platform that had been offered to us for free until now.

    We’re now asking for your support! Show us what the music we provide and the endless hours of work we do is worth to you!

    Our fundraising target to continue throughout 2006 is to get a total of 7’000.- Swiss Francs (or USD 5’500.- / EURO 4’500.-) by the end of February, which is a "big" amount for one person. But considering all the thousands of listeners who tune into Lounge-Radio and SwissGroove daily, that’s very little when shared!
