Internet radio stations that sound really good


There are 3 I have found whose sound quality stands out.

Bartok Radio Budapest, classical channel which broadcasts at 256 kbps mp3.

Big Blue Radio, 128 kbps AAC+ laid back classic rock channel. You can get the stream off of Shoutcast.com without having to register with their web site.

Great Radio, 160 kbps mp3. Classic rock that rocks. I can only find them at Shoutcast.com. They sound awfully good for 160 kbps mp3.

Radioio used to have reference quality streams. They went from a windows based platform to a Mac environment over six months ago (the company was sold).

The sound was at first terrible---thin and upper midrangy MP3'y. Totally unlistenable. Since then they dropped in some EQ but its still unlistenable on a high rez system.

I have built up an EQ session for their ambiant station in Patchmix if anyone is interested (I can email it to you).

I've tried all sort of EQ for their excellent classical station but I've yet to get a winning combo.

IO has great music but needs to address the audio quality.
