Five years ago, I never thought that I'd hear radio from every part of the globe

[MrScorpio]

Right now, I'm checking out South African electronic music

Every continent and every major city...

The world is mine!

1. Hey MrScorpio...I listen to French Radio (online)...

weekly...a lot of their pop sounds very much like cabaret.
I just like it.

Plus I listen to a station in New Jersey...

2. I've got the app that has over 50,000 radio stations

That's a mind boggling number. Even my own station is on this thing, plus BBC, Radio Brussels and others

I think that I'm in love.

3. Radio Digital Samba!

Bliss!

4. Mrs. Lib got me an internet radio for Christmas last year

has it been a year already?
I like talk more than music - but OMG!
New Zealand, Australia, Scotland, Russia -------------

5. I know, isn't it amazing?

I remember as a kid getting excited when the atmospheric conditions were just right and we could get a Mexican station on AM radio, it didn't happen very often. When I was older, I got a shortwave radio and was able to listen to lots of foreign stations, but still only when the conditions were right. Now I can listen to pretty much anything anytime anywhere. I LOVE it!

I do miss the shortwave, though; many stations are no longer broadcasting worldwide because of internet streaming. It was pretty special to pick up a station from thousands of miles away with just a little portable radio.

6. I've been listening to world radio on my iTunes for longer than that. Glad you found it.

Also, when I was a kid my dad gave me a huge wooden cabinet radio and record player, very antique, as tall as I was. Very fine workmanship on the wood.

Not the kind that you set on a counter or table, it was truly a piece of furniture. I changed the angle of the big square antenna inside and listen to radio from around the world, but only at night, when the local stations powered down.

Nothing compared to what we can get now online, though, but very mysterious stuff. Enjoy, Mr. Scorpio.

7. Even iTunes doesn't have 50,000 stations from all over the world

It's like the few stations that I've listened to on iTunes have blown way up over the years.

Instead of a few stations from just a few countries, now the entire world is available.

My mind is officially blown.

8. Do you like trance music? And what's the big thing in South Africa?

[MrScorpio]

9. I'm not the biggest fan of trance

They're into a lot of house and club down there and it's pretty good stuff

10. Mellow and strong... Thanks.
