Internet Radio - Comments Page 2

I like Screamer Radio: a freeware Internet Radio player for Microsoft Windows.

www.screamer-radio.com/

It is a tiny app, indexing thousands of internet radio stations worldwide by location and genre.

It does for me what short-wave radio used to do.

I like www.radiotime.com that way I can get just about any station around the globe.

Rama Radio: http://www.raimersoft.com/rarmaradio.aspx

Not free but definetely for those who are serious about their online radio experience. Stations throughout the globe listed by station, genre,lyrics, album covers, etc... Totally awesome and well worth the investment.

EDITOR'S NOTE: How is it different/better than Live365, which sounds very similar and is free?

Yes. I am in Jakarta and it is working for me

SomaFM (somafm.com) is independent and commercial free. 14 stations to choose from. I am outside of the U.S. and am able to receive it.

"Radio doesn`t have to be just about music. Try BBC radio7, its "listen live" (stream) but if you go to the schedule you can select from up to 7 days previous. Classic & new comedy, plays, & readings"

.....and not just BBC7. The BBC has a wide variety of stations for all tastes with 'listen again' facility for many programmes.

Where I live, no classical music radio stations are available, but there are hundreds on the internet. My favorite, however, is a small station out of Hartford, Connecticut, at http://beethoven.com . They call themselves Beethoven Radio.

Here's a great Blues/Rock one:

My favorite is last.fm. I've used several mentioned here, but have had the best luck with it.

Just to respond the Editor's Note in the Iceman comment.

RarmaRadio is radio software which means you can listen to (and record) most of the free Internet radio stations available around the world. But you can also listen to network services like Live365 and Last.fm.

How is it different to Live365? Well you don't get 'This is a preferred member station - please subscribe' for every other station and you only have to pay once.

I've listened to electronic downtempo genre music stations at Shoutcast for a couple years. It's free, and the selection is wide. Thanks for the tip on Slacker; I'm going there now...

If you like public radio you can go to http://publicradiofan.com to find internet radio streams from public radio stations worldwide. It also tells you what's on those stations if you are looking for a specific show that helps. I've been going to that site since about 2001 I guess. There are commercials but the stations are free of charge. You might have to download realplayer, quicktime, or codecs that support their formats to listen to some streams but there are other common formats used too.

AT&T's quasi-fibre service U-Verse has a neat feature called Media Share, which allows you to stream MP3's and photos from your PC to your U-Verse TV boxes. However, one can use a program called TVersity, set in XBox 360 mode, along with the URL's that point to the stream, added as audio RSS feeds and can get internet streams, delivered to the same set top boxes.

SomaFM's Ill. Street Lounge is wild. 60's bachelor pad music. WiLd!

Slacker and Pandora say on their websites, that ther services are restricted for users living in the United States because license restriction. They are working on it

Why is www.jammchicago.com not listed that internet radio station is the bomb they be jamming especially on Saturdays from 6 til 10pm on the jamm basement party. I think they are not being visable enough but I love that station its the only one I listen to on the internet
