Default Whats My Options?

My radio reception sucks in my office, I catch 1 station AM 870. I'm going nuckin futs listening to Spud McConnel and the worst Garland Robinette.......

We can't stream music via the interwebs due to the barracuda network

I have an i-phone but we have no wi-fi and I don't have unlimited internet, nor do I get very good cell reception in here anyway.

My I pod has about 300 songs but they get old quick.


What can I do to be able to listen to some tunes?

Sounds like you need to just buy more music on your iPod.

Most radio stations like the main rock and county ones have live streaming on there websites.

Also try "I heart radio" in a search. I believe it would be iheartradio.com 1,500 live radio stations

Get a portable XM Satellite Radio... If you can find some way to get the antenna routed to a place to pick up the signal...

Pandora wont work on the Barracuda firewall? IT departments usually have a blanket ban setup... is it possible to contact them and request a website like Pandora be allowed?

They only want us running autocad, excel, word, yadda yadda yadda, no fun. But the pay is good.

Just checked pandora and Iheart, both blocked.

I feel ya bro, same with my network at work. Try Slacker Radio or Pandora. both are apps that allow you to choose from preset stations and tune them to your liking, or create your own stations. its the only reason i still have my sanity.
