Internet radio stations that sound really good

Nathanso, Thanks very much for the time time and energy you put into your post. The information is just what I was asking for. I will enjoy trying them out. Thanks!

From the above suggestions I followed the Favorites already programmed into my squeezebox and found Radio Paradise...I simply hit 'play' and yes, this is a really fantastic station. Also, it just dethroned my local station that only comes at 48K.

Radio Paradise is the closest I have ever gotten via the internet to my better sounding CDs

Radio Paradise is good but you'll find there are many others out there equally as good or better.

Enjoy!

One difficulty is that smaller Internet radio stations are too often short-lived, streaming happily along one day and gone the next. Their stream URLs change at times, too, which makes maintaining a bookmark list (Winamp is good for this) difficult. The larger stations, like RP and Sky, are less prone to these difficulties, however.

Often true and often not.

Roku's radioRoku service catalogues stations and their urls and provides services that customers can use on their site to help keep things up to date. I find it's not a big problem for the more popular stations of which there are hundreds out of many thousands total.
