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.

I don't know if they've already been mentioned but 2 stations;

1) WDR3 out of Cologne Germany at 256 kbps

2) BBC Radio3 via iTunes Radio at 320kbps 'so close yet so faraway'.

A lot of the stations you guys are referring too can all be found on shoutcast.com and can be played backed on any player that can play Http:\\ streams I like using Shoutcast because you can just search for the 256 and 320kbps streams.

On a Windows OS and MAC OS I like to use VLC or Winamp. By the way the new version of VLC can now play back Blu-Ray Disc.

MOG! For audio quality, you want 320kbs at least. MOG is a sight that only streams in 320. It is a pay jukebox webservice and has a large but not exhaustive collection.
The sound quality is amazing through an asynchronous DAC.
Sounds much better than Pandora, a bit better than slacker, and much much better than Spotify.
