View Full Version : Internet Radio
Last night I discovered Absolute Eighties on internet Radio via my iphone. Fab! I enjoyed a stream of hit after hit from my favourite decade. Wonderful via Koss Porta Pros.
I'm also playing it now via my Squeezebox Touch at work. It aint exactly FLAC quality but the material remains enjoyable with what seems to be a minimum of DJ chat and adverts.
Anyone else have any favourite stations?

Where to start?
Radio Paradise of course-brilliant all round station
Linn Radio-weird choice of folksy/jazzy stuff but good quality
Freebird Radio-country rock, very american orientated.
Rockhard Lossless Radio-for those moments when you just need a blast of Megadeath
Try those for a starter

RMF Classic Rock from Poland. You do get the occassional dodgy eastern European rock track thrown into the mix, but it's mostly standard, well known classic rock. And no adverts!

+1 for those.
Linn actually have three, a jazz, a classical and a mixed. Very good sound.
Radio Paradise just seems to have a never ending supply of great music.

That sounds good. Just logged onto Rockhard-Lossless but I need to register first and they are saying it is closed and I need an invite from a member, any chance please?

As well as some of those already mentioned, I also listen to a US based one called Pyschedelic Jukebox. 60's Garage, Surf, Pysch, Pop etc. Nice!

+1 for RP and Linn, i regularly tune in to all their content. I've discovered loads of new artists from their playlists and bought their material (Boy meets Bear, Puscifer, Younger Brother, Dengue Fever to name but a few), someone at the record companies should pay Bill a fee for the good play he gives to up and coming artists as well as established favourites. Sadly the other two, Rockhard abd Freebird couldnt be found on the Arcam Radio tuner thing i use to add net stations to the Neo which is a shame as i like nowt better than discovering new stations.

If you like that stuff, you'll love Little Stevens' Underground Garage (http://undergroundgarage.com/) - it's only a 2 hour weekly programme, but there are now 527 archived shows to play & replay.

Good, glad that's sorted. You should find Freebird Radio under Shoutcast but here is the URL:

If you enjoy music of great weight (I'm a Rockabilly not a Hippy so I refuse to call it "heavy") then here's an 800 Kb/s FLAC stream at 48 kHz and 16 bit, from the former Lands Of The Bohemian Crown:
http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac (http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac)
If you enjoy music that is a circumlocution for discussing sexual acts, lean against this and whistle:
