Anyone know of some good stations, or can point me to websites that
list them? Or don't they exist?...

Slainte,

Jim, have a look he

Thanks. :-)

Masses of stations, and some of them really high quality with AAC+
compression. Winamp will play these - you must be able to put together a
basic windows machine out of odds and sods by now...?


Yes, I've been able to do that for a decade or more. Indeed, I've had a
'doze laptop sitting in the corner for years, and use it for about 30mins
per month. However as a matter of choice I don't like using 'doze, and
prefer 'open' standards methods.

Slainte,

Jim


Ok, but I think by now we will have to call AAC an open standard - it
is certainly the best way I know to stream audio at decent quality and
reasonable bit rates.
