So I am totally, noob with itunes-to its radio stream stations in particular and I have researched the forum archive if a thread similar to this exists but, there's none. I am currently listening to idobi radio, I do hope muggers would suggest their fave stream radio, if theres any might as well check those out. Thanks! By the way idobi radio falls under alternative music tab, so there.
i like the stations under rock. i always sort it according to highest bit rate & browse stations from highest to lowest. i also choose the ones w/o ads as i hate FM radio ads like on most local stations here in the phil. w/c have more ads than music. i also prefer a station w/c has less buffering times. the ones i like are: rock nation radio, radiophile & radiomaxx.
Thanks tech junkie... ill take note of that The rebuffering is manageable, the idobi radio buffers most of the time. There are so many stations! thanks for sharing the ones you prefer!
In the Ambient genre, I listen to any of the following station stations at night- Drone Zone on SomaFM, Groove Salad on SomaFM and radioAmbient. They really help a lot in putting me to sleep. And during daytime, I switch to the faster beats from Chill Out Lounge (1.FM TM), SmoothNounge.com and Ambient popsicle (from Groovera). And then I listen to Buzz Radio or Radio.Wazee if I need my alternative music fix. And finally, as an "alternative to the alternative music", I connect to either TheBlast.FM or SolidRick Radio... both play Christian Rock/Alternative.
When 103.5 Klite reformated few years back (I think it was also the time when Mylinda left the Breakfast Show, and Klite began airing PCSO radio ads every 5 minutes.) I turned to iTunes Radio and found Virgin Radio UK playing Queen and David Gray - ever since, I got hooked to the station, I listen to Virgin Radio UK, The Christian O'Connel Breakfast Show and even signed up the VIP mailing list. What I do like about this station are: 1. Superb music selection 2. Real-time radio stream 3. Fantastic playlist logs - you can review the last played song missed 4. Yahoo Status - via iTunes
in addition to my rock station favorites above, below are the jazz stations i like bec. of very few buffering times & no ads: SmoothJazz.com SmoothLounge.com PS im really happy w/ itunes radio. somehow, i cant make the yahoo music launchcast work. & most local stations have more ads than music. my favorite, w/c is NU107, has bad signal pa from where we live.
Nice inputs sir techjunkie, and to all those who shared their fave stations! I am happy too with itunes radio compared to yahoo music. Great stations indeed! its now a ritual to turn my radio on with itunes every morning. No advertisements-just pure music. Ill post my best finds too...
im now listening to "classical guitar on sky.fm" under classical. its only 96kbps but quality is still good & no rebuffering. i love itunes radio!
Loving it too tech junkie! so many stations.... but so little time.... I discovered a new one too, the radiophile station under the alternative tab selection.... Good music too! most indie, some on the mainstream side.... @wilf will try to listen to that music too. Thanks for sharing!
Any station that plays R&B music. I don't really have one fixed station where I go to listen for radio streams in iTunes.
