Mobile provider 3 has announced a 24-hour music streaming service for its 4 million UK mobile phone users for just 49p a day.
The company’s Non Stop Music service will offer eight streams of music covering different music genres, from classical to dance, rock and pop. Users merely choose the station they want from their mobile. Each one is on a 4-hour loop and the music will be updated every week. The service has been created in partnership with Ericsson. According to the marketing blurb:
John Penberthy-Smith, Marketing Director, 3 UK said; “At 3 we thrive on providing our customers with the most innovative and exciting services on demand for the best price. The new 24 hour streaming will I'm sure be hugely popular with our customers. Our other music services such as MusicStore and dual downloads have set the pace for the market.”
Even if it doesn’t work, 49p a day is a cheap way to test the new service. At the very least you get to listen to new tunes without ads and the damn DJ interrupting every three minutes.-Martin Lynch

You can do this already on T-Mobile with their Flext service and Web and Walk.
I've got the MDA Vario II and have installed the free app GSPlayer which allows me to connect into web radio streams and listen whenever I want... to whatever station I want.
Eight channels?! Meh... shoutcast on WM5 for the win!
