Good online/digital Radio Stations! - I.e. Online Spaces with professionally curated and preferably live-presented playlists with short intermissions of context and humour/talkingpoints inbetween

Does anyone else here have a difficult time of finding new music?

Maybe you're getting older and not clubbing anymore, heck even the kids barely get out anymore (https://www.nssmag.com/en/lifestyle/39526/decline-nightclubs-nightlife-crisis-europe).

You go to a friends place and its just a spotify list playing. You never learn the name of the song and asking constantly is a bore?

You have no friends? :tomgirl:

Scouring peoples playlists isn't doing it for you?


Maybe Digital Radio can be your solution!
I used to love going to Di.FM that always had a good presenter, a semi-curated playlist, clearly labled songs, various themed stations and so forth. Now it's no longer free but I'm considering paying for the subscription even though its a bit pricey.

My local national radio station is pretty good but its a bit too woke for me inbetween the music bits with few alternative voices ever being allowed in on the cultural "discussions". But I do love that they talk a little bit about the artist, maybe even have them onto the program while playing their songs or talk about a Music genrés development as they play songs, etc.

You get to know your music, and you get new inspiration.

Got any good (online) radio stations to share?
Post them here!

Especially interested in radio stations that allow the music to go on for at least 15 minutes without ads inbetween every couple of songs cause that kills the vibe.

Simulator Radio plays just about everything, I hate 90% of it but it's good background noise when I'm sitting in the corner playing Euro Cuck Simulator.

...dot LIVE, is my favorite online JSR-themed radio station run by some schizophrenic Y2K enjoyer that boasts a fairly sizable collection of bangers, a respectable selection of genres and a cornucopia of interactive features like an anon chat, a taggable wall, a TV station and an animated visualizer. The №1 go-to electronic music place when my hundredth re-listen of Tipper and/or Detox Unit main discography starts hitting a little stale.


A pure joy to use. No ads, no soy, no filler! Labeled songs, too.

Visuals like this, and tracks like these:









...in the main selections, at least - haven't paid much attentions to stations beyond Noise Tanks.

Also, https://www.radiorecord.ru/ has decent-ish music and (as far as I noticed) no ad breaks, but nowhere near as... funky, for the lack of a better term, as JSRL.

That first one is indeed some of the funkiest stuff I've ever see! Totally out there. Love the art, aint the music I'll be listening to regularly but I'll pop in and check out the waves and feel the groove from time to time from now on. Would've never found that otherwise. Thanks!

The Russian site seems like a great free site too, especially for any Russian Kiwi's.
 
Sweet I get to plug my favorite internet radio station - https://somafm.com/

No ads and tons of channels. It tends to lean towards chill ambient, but there are stations for a lot of different types of music too.
 
I like tilde radio from time to time. Some of it is playlists, but also live shows with hosts who interact with their IRC chat. It's curated by people from the tildeverse (hobbyists who use Unix shell accounts as a social network). No set genre because it varies by time slot, but it's somehow always good stuff when I drop in.

This isn't really an answer to your question but I do find the Spotify discover tabs (not generated playlists or recommended songs on playlists) to be okay. I found some of my favorite albums through their discover tabs though at a certain point it does plateau and start giving the same albums over and over again.

If you like listening to radio from around the world, Radio Garden is your best bet.

There have been times where I've spent a good couple of hours on Radio Garden, just to explore what radio sounds like in other parts of the world.

I see the usual suspects have been named i.e. DI.fm and SomaFM, both of which are excellent Internet radio networks. Radio Paradise has a number of high quality streams (in terms of both audio quality and curation).

XRN is worth checking out too. There's some normie-friendly stuff such as Station X and Radio Wow (both of which are also low power terrestrial radio stations in the middle of Buttfuck Nowhere, Australia), a couple of oldies streams and a funk/soul/jazz stream (my favourite). The website that looks like something out of 1998 is boomerish but comfy and easy to use.
 
Lot of good choices mentioned already. SomaFM alone has what, up to 48 stations?

Are you hardcore enough to listen to Walmart Radio?

Non-music:
I got bored a while back and started listening to Singapore's news station CNA938 sometimes:
https://www.melisten.sg/radio/cna938 (AAC)

If you are isolating the direct links to these stations (like that AAC link), you should be able to open them in an application like VLC. Radio stations that use HLS won't work natively in the web browser, but you can use something like rPlayer to play them:

If you enjoy dark alternative and electronic music you should check out Communion After Dark - they've been running a weekly show for almost 17 years and it's a great way to find new artists and listen to old classics. Their shows run for ~2 hours and can be played directly on the site or downloaded as an mp3.

Sadly its gone downhill as of late due to ole Hambone leaning too far into his schtick while also drowning the show in tard drama between his sycophants and trolls

Personally I am still sad that TonyTalk is gone....I loved that fat ragu eating wop :(
