I also have been dabbling with live365 and do not have a membership. Yes, the commercials are annoying but have also found if you listen to it long enough in a day, the program repeats itself. I only listen when I am working on a project (i.e. sewing or prop). Haven't been able to do that lately since my computer is kaput and have been using hubby's. With the holidays, not much creatin' has been done since Halloween. Hopefully I will be able to start soon.
