Re: What do you listen to - Internet streaming a.k.a radio and such?

The Radio stream URL search engine  gave me a usable Stream URL:

http://listen.113.fm/bluesville.m3u

That works in radiotray-ng - thanks!
(And playing some good music.)

While playing, mpv showed this alternative url which also works:

https://113fm-atunwadigital.streamguys1.com/1005

I can confirm.
I tried with Audacious:

http://listen.113.fm/bluesville.m3u

and redirected to:

113.fm Bluestown
https://113fm-atunwadigital.streamguys1.com

I tried at the same time with RadioTray-NG (113.fm - Bluesville) and it's the same radio station.
Really weird, different name and stream URL.

But the music is good.

I've got several Ocean internet radios https://www.oceandigitalshop.com/
List of stations is close to 40K with maybe 5-10k stations being worth it. These radios are cheap online.

Listen to mostly news that isn't North American: Deutsche Welle, Radio Australia, BBC, Al Jazeera, Netherlands RNW, France24.  I can understand German and French well enough, Dutch isn't too far away- perhaps no worse than some UK English speakers' accent and words, though more horky.

For music, That 70s Channel lately: https://www.that70schannel.com/

How do they connect to the internet? Do they need a locally provided wifi connection? A world-wide satellite link would be great, if it didn't have to be Starlink...

I can understand German and French well enough, Dutch isn't too far away- perhaps no worse than some UK English speakers' accent and words, though more horky.

I lived in Holland for a couple of years and got the feeling that Dutch was about midway between English and German in many ways. Pronunciation is the hardest part.

A good bitrate, commercial-free stream of less mainstream 80s music out of Switzerland...
