Bob, thank you a lot for the info, sounds great. but... when i tried to tune in, it seems Pandora is not worldwide yet and won't reach Argentina! nor anywhere outside US! I found this http://radiotuna.com/ which so far seems ok but has lots of ads. thanks for helping!! gina. To: gidelpiero@hotmail.com CC: joni@smoe.org Subject: Re: online radio?? From: Bob.Muller@Fluor.com Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 13:30:40 -0400 Gina - go to Pandora.com and set up a Joni radio station, it will play a little Joni but mostly artists who share attributes of Joni's music. You can rate the songs as they play and that helps the genome that selects the music they play for you.

Having had one-and-a-half mind-numbing hours on the phone with a series of gentlemen almost certainly located in Bangalore, I feel it a civic duty to warn all of you (and please pass it on) not to have anything to do with CricKet, Inc. Their commercials make them seem like a cheaper alternative to other broadband carriers, but please believe me, it ain't worth it. To put it as briefly as possibly, back at the beginning of my contact with them, the first thing they did was to lie to me in telling me I was in their covered area, someting they definitely knew was not true. After accruing two weeks of empirical evidence to that effect, I decided to take action. After several hours on the phone with a series of nice men with moderate to strong South Asian accents, I finally got someone to agree that since I was out of Cricket's service area, I could, at my own expense, return all materials to them for a refund, and my account would be closed (although one would think this was automatic, I can't emphasize this fact enough, i.e., that by mutual spoken agreement, my account was closed). I was refunded the price of the hardware only -- all postage was out of my pocket, which I could live with. It took several weeks, but the refund showed up in my account. Several weeks after *that*, 3 days ago to be exact, I got a "regular monthly charge" of $43.18 from Cricket deducted from my checking account. I talked with 7 people at their customer service over 90 minutes. They denied they had charged me, they denied I had an account, they denied I had ever closed an account, they said that they would not remove the charge unles I gave them the serial number on the device I'd returneed two months before, and when I exclaimed that of course I didn't have this number since I'd closed the account and returned said object, I would be unable to comply, and that *surely* they had some other way of accessing my closed account, they denied anyone with my name, address or phone number had ever had an account with them. I congratulated them on having the worst, most incompetent customer service in the history of the universe, and slammed down the phone. After taking some migraine medicine, I got on the phone with my bank, and they said that given my documentation of my exchanges wth the Evil CricKet, they would have no trouble getting the money back, and they would credit my account immediately. If you've been tempted to sign up with Cricket, DON'T. As far as they are concerned, once you're in, you're in for good, even though they will insist you don't exist (quite a logical trick, no?); and actual crickets could do a better job of customer service. Be afraid -- be very afraid. Best to all -- and I can't wait to read the accounts of Pazfest!
