:-) I am also interested in other forms of non-European 'classical' music
like those from the 'far east'.

3) Jazz. As with the above, with a decent range of content. Not just 'easy
listening' or 'MOR' under another name.

FWIW Since I don't use windows/mac/linux I can't access 'real audio' or
'wma' streams. So am looking for open formats based on mp3, etc.
Preferrably 192kbps or 128kbps to make the results worth hearing.

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

My favourite station is KFJC - http://kfjc.org/. I listen on a 128kbs
MP3 stream.

There's not much classical music played, of any kind, but quite a lot of
jazz, and a lot of contemporary music, mostly at the avant-garde end of
the spectrum (though some is more accessible).

You don't say what kind of jazz you like. But for example, on Friday
morning I listened to:

You have to tune in at the right time (they're eight hours behind us).
Most of the time something is playing that I can listen to, though
sometimes it'll be just too horrific to bear for long, even for me (and
some of the things I enjoy listening to make other people ask "What on
earth is that noise?"

I don't know any other stations where the same DJ will play Scriabin,
Dizzy Gillespie, the Rolling Stones and Miles Davis in the same set.
