Thanks to EC8010 I just rediscovered Jazzfm, (www.jazzfm.com) a favorite internet radio station and I’m interested if more quality stations are out there.
You need to register to listen.
So, what internet stations do people listen to in other parts of the world?

At one time I was able to get some very high quality classical streams from Sweden but they must have changed url's...does anyone have the url's?
radioiojazz which I get for free at 128kb/44 khz with my audiotron...lower quality streams are available free.

There is quite a bit of good stuff out there...I take the digital out and use an external dac....in to a couple pairs of stacked Insignia speakers and an inexpensive Parts Express 12" sub...sounds very good for what it is...

Exactly...you have access to almost infinite variety and it's free....
And, I have to admit...I'm surprised at how good the better streams are. I have a few nice FM tuners but Albuquerque does not have any good stations or anything with a good signal so I have forgotten what a Mac MR-77 sounds like with a good signal....so I cannot make any good comparison.

I occasionally tune in to Radio Helsinki. I'm half Finnish but I don't speak the language so I can't understand the DJ's at all, and I never have a clue what they might be playing, but that's the fun of internet radio.
In my younger days I worked at the #1 station in Phoenix, Arizona U.S.A. It soon became evident how media, $$$ and advertising driven that bis is. Like everything is today.
However, a few years ago, some old, affluent guy(only slightly older than myself) just went out and bought a radio station outside of town, set-up his own playlist and started broadcasting. Without any commercials or advertisers??? It is available on the www also😀

From all the stations I could listen to without registering I found the windmill the most appealing.
Very authentic like radio.

You most certainly mean the Swedish Radio at http://www.sr.se/
They seem to stream all channels nowadays. Choose "webbradio" in the menu on top. When you get up the player window, choose the tab "Välj kanal " and then either "P2 Musik" or "SR klassiskt" for classical music. P2 is mostly classical, but also jazz and folk music, and in daytime also some other types of programs. SR klassiskt is dedicated to classical music.
Recently, they have also started to make most programs available for 30 days after the broadcast. Choose "Lyssna igen" instead of "webbradio", then choose "P2 lyssna igen". Then you have to know what programs you want. You can probably understand some of the names, like "Opera Live" and that "Klassisk förmiddag" is classical music. Otherwise, I can help you with translations.
There is also a small archive of recent Mozart broadcasts at

I don't have time to search much but I luckilly find this radio whose classical section is superb, IMHO. A vast, eclectic répertoire with even rehearsals broadcasted.

We have a very nice non commercial low power station here on Maui. Just 100 watts, but also streaming on the web.

You never know what will be on. The DJs just play whatever they want - but each has a different style and taste. Tons of good stuff, all genres, and some not so good, too. 🙂

Too bad... Maybe an evening-course in Danish 😉 😀
Not to worry, mostly they just let their mouths run free, nothing much interesting.
