Actually if you're interested in online music streaming and internet streaming radio stations, suppose I can give a hint as well on the whole mp3 music downloads deal.
There are so many web streaming radios round the internet that it's absolutely impossible not to find at least a dozen that have most of the music you like, from any genre, artist and country. Since you say you don't have any problem listening to streaming radios' mp3 music online on the computer but you need to download mp3 music tracks for mobile devices or anything like this, you can just download mp3 music from online radios.
Well not really download web radios mp3, but rather record and convert internet streaming radios music to mp3 tracks for time shifting on mobile devices or mp3 player and so on. There's actually some Audials software that can do this :

Also use it myself to record online radios music to mp3 in good quality for time-shifting on the mp3 player, it's fast and gets you good quality mp3 music without any problems.
Just remember not to share the music u get this way anywhere, it's for personal use only.
Really?Dunno what to say, yeah guess I should be able to find some web radios that stream music for my taste and use 'em.
But it never crossed my mind that you can actually record web radios streaming music to mp3 files to computer or anything like this. Hope though you don't just record from web radios one large music file with this kinda programs cause then mp3 music downloads from some other sources would be much more convenient for me.
I like iTunes streaming radio section. I listen to that most days while I'm working. I love that I can choose from hundreds of stations in different genres and countries. I'm diggin' it and finding lots of new music I wouldn't know to look for and wouldn't have paid to experiment with.
My point exactly, online streaming radios can be a great opportunity to find lots of new music you would not be able to find out about otherwise not to mention it's budget friendly. You just choose a web radio station, stream it and if you don't find it interesting enough, you move on to another one and another one and so on.
You simply cannot imagine how much music is out there and how many web radios' music streaming is actually quite good.
Btw, about that Audials program question, nope of course you don't get one file. You get individual mp3 tracks after you record web radio streaming music with it. Pretty useful if u ask me.
I love streaming music at work, except the phone keeps ringing, and I hv to answer it since that's my job. lol
@melviner, I totally agree.
