OT: Outstanding Internet Radio Station

[SCOOTERDOG]

I am always looking for great streaming music stations to listen to while at work. I think I finally found the one that hits on every cylinder. The station is Radio Paradise http://www.radioparadise.com. They play anything and everything in the world of eclectic rock, prog rock, good ol rock and roll, Indie. Man just so much. They play stuff you love that you don't here an standard radio. If you stream music give them a listen, they made me a believer.

Internet streaming radio is slowly taing over,since I found WinAmp radio its all the radio I listen to. The local garbage stations playing comercial garbage should be forgotten.

Scooter,

thanks for the link! Hadn't heard ELP in MP3 before!..........what a rush!

Generally for the last two years all I listen to is a web radio station...... www.beethoven.com !

radio paradise is awesome, been listening to them for a year or so. Indie airplay and indie band radio are very good too. Soma fm also has a lot of great channels.

Thanks for the link. Coincidentally, I started a similar thread, Music over the Net , today on 2-Channel.

I *only* listen to web radio 8 hours a day or more on Squeezebox

3. So here's what I like to listen to... all of

these are 128 Kbps or higher streams - I find anything less to sound

unbearable (at least to me) I also have found that these

radio stations have less compression, and sound better (at least to me)

than many other 128 kbps stations.

Soma Fm has a diverse number of radio stations playing a variety

of modern genres.... The Drone Zone, which plays eclectic

ambient with minimal rhythm, is one of my favorites

Dub Beautiful Collective - great electronic/ambient music.

The main station seems to be offline of late - however,

OEM Radio is up and running.

Blue Mars - I listen to two stations here - Blue Mars and

Cyrosleep. Cryosleep is advertised as "Zero Beat

Guaranteed" ambient.

Here's a rare find - from Slovakia of all places... Mixing of

Particulate Solids Radio - there are three streams, all playing

slightly different styles of electronic music. Most of the time,

only one or two of the streams are online. Right now, only MOPS

#1 is broadcasting

http://www.mops-radio.org/

And if you like dance music and Goa - Philosomatika has a

high-quality feed (160 kbps) and excellent good sound

quality. The website recommends, for your listening

pleasure, "high powered amplifiers and many huge thumping

speakers, then turn up to 11" []

Can TV be far behind?

Can TV be far behind?

The bandwidth requirement for full-motion, high quality video is far

higher than for an audio webcast alone, and much more

expensive.

However, there's been a significant increase in the amount of 'no

charge' news videos available at CNN, Fox News,

Yahoo, etc in the last couple years. Can the

days of full-time streaming video news be far off? That

will be the first type of webcast to appear, IMO, because

video fidelity is not as critical for news as for movies, shows,

et al.
