Favorite MuzakSites.
Oh, so many... But here's a list of a couple that have surfaced as my favorite.
Out of all fairness, I WILL NOT post itunes.com as one of our favorites, because what's the fun in saying that? Let it be known, it probably is my one-stop music shop, but there's gotta be more of a point to you guys reading this, right?
LET THE MUZAK REVOLUTION COMMENCE!
Stuck at work and need to opt-in to streaming audio? Fret no more. Here's 2 prime allies to help make the workplace or any wired spot your new favorite jukebox.
Frecuence3 (France)
En direct au Paris, France. Or something like that.
The French have done it again. A brilliant mix that has emerged as my all-time online favorite stream offers a unique, totally mainstream mix of global pop 24/7. Nee an iTunes stream, Frecuence3 is home to a non-stop hitparade of 90's, current, recent, and an 80's hit here and there. Avril Lavigne, Oasis, Kelly Clarkson, Basement Jaxx, Seal, Green Day, Modjo, All Saints, Depeche Mode, U2, George Michael, Alizée, Des'ree... you name it. They're here. Brilliant. Can't go wrong with this station.
PROS: Fairly commercial-free, it's good music in all the time. How many stations can say that?
CONS: Makes you want to kill yourself for going away 5 minutes and seeing that the previous song played was one of your all-time favorites. **it happens. So, don't miss a minute!
Soundic Radio (Sweden)
Svenska's Finest.
Sweden is synonymous with mainstream pop glory. Indeed, it's about time they launched an equally gratifying and cool station. Mostly 80's, somewhat 90's, highly electronic and experimental is the format for this one-off spot. The interludes in Swede are most welcome and brief. The home for brilliant new muzak from Rob Thomas and Alicia Keys and groundbreaking electronica from Milk Inc. and Danii Minogue.
PROS: Great production makes this station an easy listen. Rare commercial breaks last a minute, at most. Perfect in-stream option.
CONS: May seem too noisy at times, given its trance-clubey sound for certain "blocks" of time. For some, 30 minutes of free jammin' hits from the world's finest turntables may be a bit too much. However, it works out in the end when you're compensated with a great pop track from Sweden's own Robyn or Ace Of Base.

Virgin Radio UK (London, The World)
80's blow-out, unknown indiefest. Can't get enough of that Brit accent!
All The Hits Q100 (Atlanta, Georgia)
A personal favorite. Morningtime = Bert Show Time (food for thought). Noon = Tracey St. George's Cardio Radio gets you going with the mix. Afternoon= Dylan gets you going with entertainment news and top 40 hits. Nighttime= Gellar's hormones and insanity make the day end nicely. It's top 40 radio done right!
More favorites to come. Share yours!
