List of Internet Radio Stations?
 

Anyone have a list of URLs for n800-compatible Internet Radio Stations? I'm getting tired of the BBC! I've looked around for Internet Radio Stations on the web, but every time I try to load the stream into the Internet Radio player, it doesn't work.

If anyone wants to send me the ones they have, I'll be happy to compile them all and post them to my web server, so everybody can just browse to it in their N800 and add them to their list.

Thanks,
Doug

there are so many... But, yes, many don't work if they employ the MS format. I know KCRW and WNYC have three different streams each, and they all work. Look for ones that have mp3 as a choice. There is some big service that I can't think of that has a big list... I am sure someone will reply with its URL.

You can also set up TVersity on your pc and stream via that. That's what I do, as there is a station I like to listen to, JPR's News and Information, but uses the asx format. It claims that you can use a direct link, but it still doesn't work with the n800 - or at least I haven't been able to figure it out. You can stream TVersity content using UPnP via Canola, Media Server, and probably other programs. It's relatively easy to set up. You can also do this using Orb, which is easily accessed when you are not at home. I just find that Orb takes a lot of CPU time, so I stopped using it. There must be a way to use TVersity while not at home, but I haven't bothered to figure it out. Orb just works. The other advantage to using the PC based media servers is that you can stream all of your media - movies, music, radio - I think Orb even does TV...

Sorry - no URLs, but maybe some helpful advice?

Thanks Johsua. I actually have had great luck with Orb. (As a side note, I've even streamed TV from my local cable to the N800. It's really wild to be sitting in a hotel room in Asia and watching my local news back home in California.) The only thing is, as you said, Orb is PC-intensive and I hate to leave a PC turned on at all times just for that.

I'll check out the radio stations you mentioned. And my offer still stands: if anyone does have a list, send them to me and I'll compile them and put them as a web page that we can all go to and quickly add stations to our N800s.

Shoutcast... That's it.

I think AOL owns it now...

That is very cool that you watch your home TV in Asia!! You might want to give TVersity a try for streaming the ones that don't work. It doesn't seem to take over my PC while running like Orb did.

Cheers, josh

mplayer can play most of the streams, but it's not so easy to set up. if you want to use the nokia native app then you'll need to look for just the mp3 streams.

With your N800, browse to http://www.shoutcast.com/.

...and press the "Tune In" button once you find something you think is worth listening...

Re: List of Internet Radio Stations?
 

Wow. Thanks guys! :) I just tried that Shoutcast and it's great! Can't wait to try the other suggestions. I just got my N800 a few weeks ago and I'm totally in love with it and have been voraciously seeking new ways to put it to use. I've watched quite a few videos on YouTube, that show how to expand it with things like Canola, Video Center, etc.

Any one have any ideas on where to get TV stations over the Internet? I miss some of the programming from Asia and would love to be able to tune in. If anyone has any ideas on that, that would be great, and I'll keep looking too, and post anything I find to this thread.

It doesn't work on my unhacked N800, maybe others more talented have more luck: http://www.streamick.com
