listen to FNOOB now

FNOOB Internet Radio delivers excellent free streaming music. The TRANCE station is crankin’ good, and once I listened to a few tracks from the current set, I knew I had to share it with everybody. The TECHNO station is top tier as well. Of course, it is much more aggressive than the TRANCE station. The Underground station is really good too, it has a cool shout out box where you can speak your mind in a chat box. The Underground station is cool because it has a more live-DJ feel to it. The TRANCE and TECHNO stations are more like long sets. The audio quality for the Internet Radio on FNOOB is stupendous. I’ve never listened to an internet radio station that is so clear and HI-FI with such a solid and reliable connection. This is especially sweet because my internet connection lately has been pretty unreliable. So I was surprised to hear FNOOB sound so consistent and lag-FREE. The navigation for the website is super simple and I was instantly able to listen to the stations I wanted to. Other internet radio stations have a lot to learn from the simplicity and ease of use of FNOOB.com.

The quality of the actual songs are ridiculously good. I haven’t heard a bad song yet. Especially the TRANCE station bumps hard, it has the perfect blend of instrumental trance and vocal trance. It is easy to tell that a tremendous amount of care has gone into the design of the set lists. Another encouraging thing about FNOOB is that they say that they play music from both new and already established artists. I’ve listened to a lot of trance in my life, and this stuff sounds fresh. It is such a pleasure to listen to new trance that doesn’t require a download. Streaming music really is the future and FNOOB is setting itself to be riding on top as the tides change.

Whoa! I just registered with FNOOB and joined their community section under the username: overidon. Now I am able to download their sets. This is super cool and reminds me of the system Crystal Clouds set up. I am currently download Step by Step Vol. 1 by Christian Ludy. I can’t wait to listen to this and hear what it’s like. I have no idea who this guy is. The cool part is that the download was free. So that is always a plus. The song I’m listening to right now on FNOOB is getting stereo-psychedelic and there is even some classical guitar jumping in the mix. This is some funky trance and I’m feeling it for sure. Guitar solo…that’s sick!

Oh man this is awesome. The download I just got of Step by Step Vol. 1 is 320 Constant Bitrate. That is top tier bitrate for MP3 format for an internet radio station. I am stoked about that. It’s not VBR, so I really appreciate that. Oh so it sounds like this Step by Step Vol. 1 is a dubstep set. Very nice.

OK, I am very satisfied with FNOOB and I will definitely bookmark this puppy and crank the music.
