Iconoculture: Internet killed the radio station? Not so fast. Michael Robertson, founder of MP3.com, now offers a next-generation customizable online radio experience with his free-to-use beta site, BYO.fm. Built on top of digital music lockers at MP3Tunes.com, BYO.fm enables music lovers to become their own program directors, allowing them to create, skip, rewind and fast-forward playlists culled from their own digital music collections and listen via any Net-connected device.
The real hook? Users can select (and designate airtime for) preferred news, sports, traffic and weather updates to plug into the musical stream for their self-styled station.
