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.

Found Big Blue Radio using Roku Soundbridge. Very good sound.

CAn't find the other two on Roku though. Do you have the URLs for public access?
Great Radio is gone.

Bartok Radio - I can no longer find listen links.

Cesky rozhlas D-dur - No home page but you can find a listen link at Icecast.org.

Radio Paradise - Should have mentioned them before. 128 kbps LC-AAC. Self-described as eclectic rock, and it is indeed eclectic. I will forever be in gratitude to this channel for playing Johny Cash's "Personal Jesus."
Oops, Cesky rozhlas D-dur does have a home page even though there's no link to it from Icecast:

All the 24seven stations, including Adagio and StreamingSoundtracks.com, use HE-AAC-PS. That's why Adagio's free stream was so impressive.
Bluebeat.com

This is an amazing site that streams at 320kb's.
It is not internet radio per say but more like an internet jukebox with an incredible wide array of songs and styles and playlists to choose from and listen to. And if you don't like the song you are listening to you can go to the next selection which is an amazing feature. It's all on here from Classical to Fusion to Bluegrass to Tibetan chanting to give you an idea. And the quality is rediculous. I don't know where i heard about this or read about it but it has been one of those goldmine finds for me!!
ther only downside is that you have to download a very small player that integrated seemlessly and does not interfere with my WMP at all.

and HEY.....it's free : )
