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.

Lupinthe3rd, I don't think there are enough audiophiles to support such a service. Or, they'd have to jack up the rate so high, it would be unbearable. Rhapsody is $13 per month for 192 bitrate MP3. To get FLAC on a subscription basis, they'd have to charge $50 per month or more. Even then it might not survive if they don't get enough subscribers.

Anyone have anything new to add to this thread? Especially Jazz and blues stations?
Shoutcast allows searching by bit rate. Usually, if a radio streamer bothers with 320kbps streaming, the sound is pretty good, IME, for internet radio.
I enthusiastically recommend Radio Paradise as well--I even sent them $25 as a supporter. Give it a few hours listen, they really shift genres.
I absolutely love Radio Paradise. They cross a number of genres but, at the same time, they seem to hit on the tunes that can successfully cross over and be enjoyable to everyone. Listener supported, commercial free. It's the only station I feel the need to listen to and I like it so well I also became a contributor.
Here's the 192k stream url which doesn't have the artist/song info but you can always open up the website to see.
