The internet is becoming over saturated with websites that supposedly offer restless music fantatics access to endless hits. Some if not most (Launch.com) are taking users on a long ride. The biggest complaint about online radio is that there is no variety and that there's to much force feeding of major record label garbage. Jango.com is the exception to the dissapointing online radio market place. This social radio network offers a better variety, non stop skipping and some other things you don't need. On Jango.com you can listen to existing stations or create your own with out signing up! If you want you can set up a profile and add some annoying friends and find out who shares your interest in similar music. Once you create stations others can tap in and listen to your selected joints and drop shouts.

Back to the variety... Once you start creating your own stations you got to work hard to find the songs. On Jango.com the hidden stash is there but you got to dig and you'll find joints like "Camay" by Ghostface, "Set it Off" by Strafe and "Pop Life" by Prince that may not come up easily. Jango also has a radio station widget (no homo) that can be added to your MySpace or blog site so you can share the stations you created. The only minor dissapointments we could find with Jango.com was too much Eminem. After giving him more than a few sad faces (Jango's thumbs down) his bullsh*t songs kept popping up. That needs to be fixed ASAP and add some more Kool Moe Dee! Other than that its a great addition to the social and online radio market place.
