Linn Radio

Spotted this over on the Slim Devices forum http://radio.linnrecords.com/ - it's streaming at 320 kbps and sounds rather good.

One snag with Linn Radio is that it doesn't seem easy to find out what's on. I tried it yesterday, and there was what sounded like a piano concerto, but I didn't recognise it. There weren't any announcements, and I couldn't find a listings page. I did recognise some of the later musical items. This does seem to be a difficulty with this radio service.

I use a Squeezebox SB3 (aka "Classic"), and use this URL to access the Jazz side of things http://89.16.185.174:8000/stream .
I find that all the track/artist information displays fine, both on the display of the SB3 and using my browser to interface Squeezebox Server.

Ah thanks for the tip - that may explain things. I tried the output of my computer via USB to a Caiman. I couldn't see any track info on my screen. If I can get all the stream URLs for the Linn Radio then I should also be able to use my SB3, and hopefully see the track displays in real time.

Is there a website with the previous playlists though?

URL's are http://89.16.185.174:8003/stream - mixed Jazz/Classical
http://89.16.185.174:8000/stream - Jazz
http://89.16.185.174:8004/stream - Classical

Unfortunately there does not seem to be anywhere to obtain information as to the music played during the course of the day.

Been listening to the Jazz stream all evening via Winamp - which gives the artist and song info. It would appear that all the music is from artists on their own label. I Loooooove Barb Jungr, brilliant stuff! Thanks for the heads up.
