Favourite internet radio stations

Paul, this is a great idea.
Perhaps you could include the feed URL for any suggestions?

KPLU dot org (Seattle - jazz) http://opml.radiotime.com/StationPlaylist.axd?stationId=37265&username=sampletime&PartnerId=16
Folk Alley dot com (Kent, Ohio) http://opml.radiotime.com/StationPlaylist.axd?stationId=34682&username=sampletime&PartnerId=16
RadioIO Dead (Tamp, Florida - you'd have to really like the Dead, but it's a great listen) http://opml.radiotime.com/StationPlaylist.axd?stationId=55379&username=sampletime&PartnerId=16
various Classical stations I can't remember

Hi Paul,

Paradise is my fave too but I get it at only 192Kbps. Where do you get your 320K signal from please?

RR

FIP. French radio station. Eclectic similar to radio paradise.

AVRO classic and AVRO baroque,,,,it's a dutch station,,,,
and (yes) Linn ;-)

Sorry Rooster my mistake rp is 128 not 320k Wishful thinking on my part

RP 128 k AAC feed  is pretty good though, another "user".

I couldn't get the 192K Octoshape feed to work.

Last time I did a comparison I reckoned the 128kbps feed from Radio Paradise sounded better than the 192kbps MP3 feed.

Hi if anyone likes film soundtracks try this http://www.cinemix.us

Dandelion Radio; I listen to this station a lot, it's great for new and unusual stuff, being as it is inspired by John Peel.

http://www.techwebsound.com/

Technicolor web of sound; If you like listening to psychedelic stuff from the 60's, then this is the place to go.

Another vote for Technicolor Web of Sound.

Where are they based?

Paul,

I'm pretty sure that it's an American site.  There's no DJ, just streaming music, complete with a constantly updated playlist and the occasional 60's jingle; for example, a random list just played:

• The Ugly Ducklings - Postman's Fancy
• The Glitterhouse - Child Of Darkness
• The Beatles - Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!
• Rupert's People - I Can Show You
• The Hush - Grey
• Acid Talk - Tune In
• King Crimson - The Great Deceiver
• Mighty Baby - House Without Windows
• Bobak, Jons, Malone - House Of Many Windows
• Jethro Tull - Up The 'Pool
• Love - You'll Be Following
• The Shadows Of Knight - Someone Like Me
• A Handful - Does Anybody Know?
• The Association - All Is Mine
• James Gang - There I Go Again
• The Boston Tea Party - We Have Already Died
• Chocolate Watch Band - Are You Gonna Be There (At The Love-In)
• Jefferson Airplane - Run Around
• Festival Promo - Trips Festival

It's great when you feel in the mood for listening to some old stuff, but Dandelion, for me is essential listening for new and interesting stuff.

Just discovered 4EverFloyd!

TSF jazz

On a musical basis–KEXP in Seattle. It's a shame that their uncompressed WMA Lossless stream requires Windows Media Player:

http://kexp.org/about/uncompressedstream.asp

as the Uniti family tops out at 320kbps when playing WMA (lossy) files. The standard stream is 128kbps, but is generally encoded fairly well.

radio meuh, french but nice 

pop in the 80's (us). no talking all eightees classics.fantatstico

Hi Paul,

Would it be possible to put a sticky in the forum with instructions on how to save favourite stations in vtuner? Maybe combine it with your 'Internet Services for Uniti products' post?
Because the firmware updates wipe your settings, I find it useful to set up hard to find stations in this way.

I had to dig back through the forums to find the link to this post.

Thanks,

I like Purple Radio (192 kbps)

website: http://www.purple-radio.co.uk/

Streaming link: http://stream-3.streamsolutions.co.uk:9062/
 
It's very eclectic, but often features electronica, and electronic music of all flavours, reggae, soul, experimental, hip hop, downtempo, jazz, and funk.
It has links with the Big Chill forums. So, one for the post acid house heads with broad ears.

@Salmon Dave: KPLU is a pretty good station but isn't their stream quality quite low? Like 64? Another vote for TSF 89.9 from France. Great sounding 128 kbps , a varying and interesting program and they speak French to you between songs, which being a mono linguistic American, lets me sort of space out and fantasize between songs that I am living abroad (in France, likely) and the sound of the French language is like a little musical break rather than a station break that pulls me out of my musical mood. It Is my go to Internet radio demonstration station as well.

my god..... nothing but commercials all over most of those links.  when not, it is so bad... i cant listen to that on my Naim kit.  64kbps mp3s are unlistenable.

Pandora or lastfm in my car through my iPhone into my stereo (Nakamichi bitches) sounds as good as FM.  But in my main gear it is no go.  Cant do it.

Patrick: connect to Fip right now and let us know how it sounds.
