Since i didnt bring many songs here to listen, i started to listen to internet radio and with super fast internet, the response and connection is almost instantaneous. But the radio channel that really caught my attention was radioioWorld - world music. It plays world music from all over the world. Spain, Madagascar, africa, India, Malaysia, china, thailand, you just name the country, they got the songs. Its really interesting to listen to songs from all over the world, some in language so alien to me that i thought it was a Martian language. And its always fulfilling to hear Malaysian songs once in a while. Just now i heard Cindai by Siti Nurhaliza being played, I mean this is an international internet radio station. to have our songs being played here is quite an honor.
But i think not everybody will like to listen to world music. if you are a fan of Metallica, R&B and songs played on Hitz.fm, you wont really like world music. If u r a Mix.fm fan, there is a 50-50 chance u will like it. if ur a light&easy fm fan, the possibility u will like it is higher, maybe 80-20 percent chance u will like it. The thing is, world music is anything but mainstream. It is for people that like to listen to something different than the normal hits on radio because some of the songs might be a bit weird from a normal persons point of view. Which makes me not normal? well, i prefer eccentric...i guess...
Hopefully TMnet will upgrade its services so that Malaysians can have better internet and can listen to internet radio. If u have iTunes, u can tune into radioioWorld by going to the menu radio>intenational>radioioWorld.
