Just thought that I would ask if anyone out there listening to Radio Paradise at the mo'?

Been listening all morning, and their choice of music has helped me blow through a whole host of work.

Also has anyone found interesting Internet Radio stations that are quirky or off the beaten track?????? I fancy listening to something a bit different.

May be a thread on 'The strangest radio stations in the world' might be fun, to see what people cancome up with.

The only other internet station I listen to apart from RP is FIP - French with very little chat and and a pretty esoteric mix of music

Radio Paradise is excellent.

If you play from the website you can choose the very good quality 192 Kbps Ogg Vorbis stream too.

I listen to a lot of Wit FM. It is a French station, local to Bordeaux. Good music mix.

RE: Radio Paradise and 'Off the beaten track'

Just having a listen now, thanks for the prompt.

I didn't ever try it out before but iTunes has about 1000 stations (no exaggeration) you can listen to grouped by genre (blues, classical, eclectic, country, comedy, 90s, rock etc etc).

Incredible, sounds good quality playback too.

Anyone want to find some unusual stations they could fill their boots with that lot.

I love Radio Paradise but sometimes I just want to rock out a bit. When I do I have been listening to some really good rock music, uninterupted , on RockHard Lossless Radio via SHOUTcast.com. Good quality 320 kbps stream, it'll rock yer socks off.

Those with a Squeezebox Touch can just load the SHOUTcast app. and find it from there, and add it to your favourites. Dead simple.

 

Also, fancy a bit of 60's garage, psych,surf pop etc?  Pyscheldelic Jukebox is the station for you, some really quirky stuff on there.
