    Internet Radio: Which one do you use?

    Just beginning to get to the point where all the music i brought with me to uni is becoming repetative. Can anybody recommend quality online stations?

    So far the only one i have really enjoyed is:

    Radio 42 which is kinda chillout stuff. (Link opens streaming music in WMP)

    I try to avoid internet radio. I don't like the low bitrates and I can't control what's playing. Although, I have used the built in Internet Radio browser in Winamp and the iTunes internet radio.

    Thanx for the links guys :thumb:

    Lovin' Digitally Imported. Mozart mixed with a bit of Trance can't help but make coursework more funny.

    Shoutcast via Winamp 5. There's nothing better, really. Usually ambient stuff, Groove Salad, Chillout or Digitally Imported.

    So basically ^^
    Has to be ambient stuff so I'm not too distracted.

    if you have a decent tuner and external aerial, listen to bbc radio 3,4 some of the quality is amzing. just a shame dab is gonna ruin it. it might be clearer in poor reception areas but the quality is not as good.

    Dreamscape Chilled -> Glowdot
    Some Random Chillout -> Digitally Imported
    Rock'One
    Kription
    Xfidelity
    XRM Alternative
    Radiomax.hu


    I tend to only listen to webradio when I'm doing work and don't want music with words [hence first two in the list are most listened to]
