POPULAR, TRADICIONAL, ROCK AND POP, ART MUSIC, JAZZ
You can listen to all kinds of music on the Net: classical, rock, jazz, to name just a few. Some of theese mean different things to different people, or change their meaning as time goes by. But most people tend to classfy music loosely as either classical or popular.
