My work has a firewall that blocks pandora but not YouTube. But YouTube music channels generally suck.

Is my best option to stream a radio station or are there other options like pandora that aren't usually blocked by IT?

Dammit. Radio statin URLs are blocked too.

I didn't have this problem before the acquisition.

why don't you just listen to music using your phone?

I'm in a blast proof building. Reception isn't the greatest.

You don't need reception to listen to music on your phone. Hell, even Pandora has offline stations. Don't you have any of your own music on your phone?

I don't want to listen to the same couple hundred songs non-stop.

And I didn't realize pandora had offline stations. Tell me more about that?

And I'm just barely in the millenial generation. Class of '05 at A&M.

If your line of work involves working in a blast-proof building, is it really wise to add extra distractions? Somewhat serious question

I put about 700 cds on a hard drive. Came out to about 5,800 songs. I have it plugged in to my truck.

I'm in a control room of a chemical plant. But I'm not running the unit. I'm coordinating the maintenance.

Not that the operators can't be distracted because they do far less than I do

You think custodial work is what's considered maintenance in a plant?

Employee: "Yeah, the ****ter on the 3rd floor women's restroom is overflowing and it stinks something fierce. Can you come clean it up and fix it?"

Amazon Music works for me; firewall blocks the others.

Amazon Music works.

Recommend some stations, please

I like most music. Except Garth Brooks. F*** that guy, he sucks.

I really like Spotify, but it's blocked at work so I switched to Amazon music.

Pick an artist you like and Amazon will make a radio station of it. They are usually pretty legit.

Spotify. Pay for premium. Load up songs on your phone for offline mode if the Spotify web player is blocked or if you can't download the PC client.

It's not the best solution but it works.

Once upon a time at my last full time job (I'm retired) we could get Pandora, radio stations, whatever on our computer systems. Then The People Upstairs gradually tightened things. I bought an XM Radio and was happy with that, until the decision was made to put reflective window coating on all the windows to save on utility costs. Farewell, XM Radio.

Some you win, some you lose. But I used the CD player on my office computer to very good advantage.

Just pick a band you like; Amazon will have stations off of that.

whole albums available

they have random playlists that work as well for good background noise
