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.

Cruz123,
I'm interested in hearing that great jazz station out of Paris, France. I got onto the TSF Jazz website translated into English, but was not able to figure out how to make it play music. I admit I'm pretty new to computers, but I was able to get Pandora to work. Any tips?

Thanks,

No-regrets, TSF Jazz was one of the "staff picks" on my Squeezebox, which is how I access it. I've never tried to access it via computer, so I can't help there. Keep trying though, its a great station.

BLUEBEAT.COM OMG! Go there.
Be sure to turn off the equalizer and turn on the SRS then adjust to a low level.
Seems to need a recent version of windows media player (gross)
and needs to play through explorer browser (gross).
Interface is not user friendly- but the hassle is worth it.
302kbs and every damn album or playlist you could think up.
Shweet.
