I didn't see a thread about this subject when lurking around, and I was curious about what sort of stuff Taba listens to aside from singles.Internet Radio seems a bit quant in the face of streaming services like Spotify and the like, but I've been enjoying being able to listen to music online without signing up for yet another service. But I'm also the kind of fossil that still downloads music files, so I guess I'm odd anyway. I ran in to GoodVibes a few months ago, and have been using that for the radio stations I listen to, like BitJam and Ryno Ryno.Most of the podcasts I listen to have been NPR stuff, like "This American Life", "Serial", "S Town", etc. I guess that would count as entry level fair, but it's still nice and pleasent to listen to in general. I also used to listen to Chris Oatley's podcast for concept art.Librivox has been my go to for audiobooks, which apparently /lit/ hates. It's been really useful in finding longform stories and philosophy which I lack the attention span to read properly.
>But I'm also the kind of fossil that still downloads music files, so I guess I'm odd anywayI still burn out of print music to CDs so I can listen to them in the car/on walks anyway. Unless you're an audiophile there's really no excuse to prefer a streaming service over listening to music on YT/CDs. But back to the topic of the thread, I think radio.garden's a cool concept
I don't listen to much of anything. Admitting you listen to music by way of YouTube videos is pretty much the same as admitting you stream anime. I did like this defunct website from a few years ago that pulled from YouTube and let you share what you liked with others though.https://www.are.na/the-curator/internet-radio-nu1xyl_qh68 has some internet radios I've found.
I rarely listen to the radio because I have an extensive music collection but I know a few. I've never really been into podcasts and audiobooks https://www.intergalactic.fm/https://chiru.no/https://plaza.one/http://radio.garden
nice, chiru stopped being dead
I found this Japanese traditional radio station that also has a web stream. It plays a lot of Western jazz and oldies as well as Japanese ones though.http://www.beachfm.co.jp/radio/
>>2This is probably something I would have done if I had a CD/DVD burning on my computer. I used to do that sort of thing all the time when I was younger, especially since I did a lot of walking around for long periods of time. Not having to change CDs mid-walk was very convenient.It wasn't till later that I got in to listening to audiobooks. I got curious about philosophy, but lacked the attention span to sit down and read for long period of time, so I popped some audio files in to my mp3 player and listened to them as I walk/ran outside.
Internet radio, in my opinion, still fulfills a niche purpose. It's just as easy to use as Spotify or YT and others, simply open the stream in your browser and click play. The major benefit over other streaming services being that it's free. You can get constant new music via other services but at a price, and none of them are as robust or varied as a radio station. Beyond that there's a certain character to radio hosts and an excitement in looking forward to their weekly or daily shows and catching them. Hosting your own internet radio station is a fun little project as well. When you host with Icecast (free & open source alternative to ShoutCast, both of them configurable media streaming servers) your stream is added to a YellowPages directory of Icecast streams across the globe. You can browse this at https://dir.xiph.org/ - some streams are tagged with searchable genres or styles. I really like finding the odd ones and seeing what is playing.Some other stations I regularly tune into:https://datafruits.fm/https://anonradio.net/ - SDF public radio station
