Yes, me too. If you're interested, my current list is:

- A State of Trance with Armin Van Buuren (though recently he's started adding much more talking so I'm close to dropping it)

- Club Life with Tiësto

- Hardwell on Air

- Corsten's Countdown

- Afrojack: Jacked Radio (this one is really hit-or-miss for me. I skip maybe half the episodes)

As an aside:

- the "Song Exploder" podcast is a fascinating view into what goes into making music though that one falls into the "Talk" category

- I love the old "Timeless Mixes" by the (now defunct) DJ River. Which are helpfully all available as a podcast, so once in a while I'll mark a few of them as unplayed so my player will download them and add them to the playlist.

I'm a big fan of "Vocal Vibes" by Richiere, "Mellomania Vocal Trance Anthems" by Pedro del Mar, and "Uplifting Only" by Original Uplift. Found all of them through the Digitally Imported / DI.FM streaming service.

DI.FM doesn't get enough attention. I subscribe, and have found so much music I love through the service. I'll even occasionally buy individual tracks, through other channels - I think I read somewhere DI.FM was going to start offering music sales but only to US customers initially.

Yeah, it's a great service. Used to be $50/yr, and they recently bumped it to $70. Given that I listen to it anywhere from 5-15 hours a day, I'd say I'm still getting my money's worth :)

That subscription also gives you the same higher streaming quality for DI.fm's sister services for Jazz Radio, Rock Radio, and RadioTunes (which has a great assortment of channels ranging from jazz to decades music to world and ambient).

The app and site let you mark songs as favorites and review a list of songs you've favorited, but there's no obvious way to purchase those. If they added direct purchases, I'd happily go pick up a bunch of my favorite tracks through them.

I had no idea about those other sites, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Is there a way I could have discovered that from the DI.FM website? Or did they tell me in an email I didn't read when I went premium?
