Anyone using it? I just installed it and am impressed so far. Nice way to just listen to music without having to worry about downloading loads of songs.

Yeh I've been using it for about 2 weeks now at work, and I have to say it's brilliant, almost anything I can think about wanting to listen to is on there, and I don't mind 30 secs of adverts every 20 mins for the priviledge. I'm very impressed with it, and it also works with lastfm! Bonus.

I used to use Jango.com for listen to internet music. Advert free with the ability to create your own music type playlists. It's a pretty good system.

Unfortunatly the network nazis would have a fit if I installed anything on the wokr computers. I just have to put up with radio!

cant u bring a pen to work and run it from there ?

Nope USB sticks are locked down and it wont let you open the stick unless its either company approved or has no .exe's or .mp3's on them!

hahaha, I know that. Unfortunately, there are some very easy ways to circumvent those restrictions. Easiest of all (and the most succesful one) is just to buy the same brand of USB stick.

Hehehehe.. unfortunately though, the more restrictions you circumvent then more restrictions are put in place. It's the good vs evil story all over. I'm lucky most are just capable of knowing where the on button is and that's only because they know how to turn it off when it's home time. Ah ignorance has saved me tons of hours of work trying to create more restrictions.....

They use Reflex Magnextics Disknet Pro. Even buying the same brand of USB wont work. Each one is filled with a "zip" file that encrypts the files. you can get to them from a non networked machine by running the Unlock program on the usb stick or if its a network comp this Disknet thing will make it appear like any normal usb drive does (well if you dont have anything you shouldnton there!!)

Hmm have you tried altering the file extensions? It's a trick I've used in the past, call an executable file a .doc, then just when you want to open it change the extension back to .exe
