9 | EMN Radio TV | Internet-based | TV & gaming-related audio | An art project taking audio from TV shows and similar and turning them into radio plays, more-or-less. Extremely personal tastes. Turns to chill things at night, like gaming streams and video game longplay audio. | http://108.61.142.122:8000/radio.mp3 | ||
10 | EMN Vibes | Internet-based | Personally-curated video game music | EMN Vibes is one of our personal TV channels we have and it's an experimental audiovisual experience. This is a way to listen to the music side of things but eventually I'll be making something to replicate the whole shebang. | http://108.61.142.122:8020/radio.mp3 | ||

12 | Local Radio (Stations that are terrestrial or focused more obviously on a location) | 1260 KYA Golden Gate Oldies | San Francisco, CA | 50s/60s/70s Music | "The Original Boss of the Bay" and a truly classic AM station! I originally found this because I was on a The Coasters kick. This has AMAZING imaging and feels like a really old school station, and if you're in the mood for these specific eras it even has plenty of voice-tracked and DJ-led shows to boot. | http://pavo.prostreaming.net:8038/stream | |
13 | Bayern Antenne - Oldies | Germany | 70s/80s Hits | It's a German 70s/80s station! I assume Germany's version of Radio 80 with added oldies, but I'm much less familiar with it. Both times I've tuned in it's played Elton John, which is nice. | http://stream.antenne.de:80/oldies-but-goldies | ||
14 | BBC Radio 1 | England | Pop Hits | It's England's main radio station that broadcasts nation-wide, mostly focused on top-40 and party hits. Used to listen to this a bunch. | http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/version/2.0/mediaset/http-icy-mp3-a/vpid/bbc_radio_one/format/pls.pls | BBC Radio 2, 3, and 4, plus the World Service, all offer something unique | |
15 | BBC World Service | England | News & Talk | It's news and talk from the BBC, essentially public radio. I mostly pop this on when I want to hear things from my homeland and some international news. | https://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_world_service | ||
16 | Centreforce 883 | London, England | Underground House & DJ Sets | Formerly a pirate radio station now on DAB+. Playing constant DJ sets complete with voicers. Big fan of this one. | http://centreforce.streamgb.com:8830/128 | ||

21 | J1 XTRA | Japan | "Heisei Hits" (90s/00s/10s) | J1's "retro channel". | https://jenny.torontocast.com:2000/stream/J1XTRA | ||
22 | Jack FM: WGTZ 92.9 | Dayton, OH | Pop Hits | "We Play Anything". The former Fly 92.9 claims to play anything but what you're really gonna get is pop hits from the last few decades. Still, they're all crowd-pleasers, so it makes for great shower or cookout music. | https://live.wostreaming.net/playlist/alphacorporate-wgtzfmaac-ibc4.pls | ||
23 | KEXP | Seattle, WA | Independent Variety | Seattle-based independent channel owned by a non-profit that focuses on DJ sets, live programming, and indie music. Curated lineups, strong variety. An affiliate of the University of Washington | https://kexp-mp3-128.streamguys1.com/kexp128.mp3 | ||
24 | KROQ | Los Angeles, CA | Classic Pop & Rock | Interesting California-based station that's been kicking for a long time. Fun because it plays both big hits and b-sides. It's not exclusively an 80s station but it has that vibe. Solid. | http://stream.dar.fm/4378 | ||
25 | Noods Radio | Bristol, England | Independent Electronic | Completely ad-free independent DJ collective serving up all sorts of electronic genres and showcasing local artists | https://noodsradio.out.airtime.pro/noodsradio_a | ||
26 | Proud FM | Toronto, Ontario, Canada | Contemporary Hits | "Toronto's LGBT+ Station", launched in 2007 as one of the first LGBT-focused stations. Mostly plays hits, but has blocks of disco programming and such as well. | https://ice7.securenetsystems.net/CIRR | ||
27 | Radio 614 | Columbus, OH | Independent Variety | Volunteer-powered radio that is freeform and Columbus-focused, highlighting local artists and talent. | https://listen.radio614.org:8001/_c | ||
28 | Radio 80 | Italy | Italian 80s + Italo-Disco | The station I listened to all through high school, with great 80s hits. Being European this includes stuff you've never heard of and many cool remixes of Tubular Bells. Absolutely killer station and the one I turn to when I feel nostalgic. | http://sphera.fluidstream.eu/radio80.mp3?FLID=6 | ||
29 | Seoul Community Radio | Seoul, South Korea | Modern Electronic (Asia) | Independent electronic station focused on bringing together modern electronic artists and DJs and avant-garde electronic complete with curated genre sets. | http://188.166.198.223/radio/8000/radio.mp3 | ||
30 | WCRS 92.7 & 98.3 | Columbus, OH | Independent Low-Power | LPFM independent Columbus station complete with instructions on their website on how to jury-rig an antenna to pick it up. As volunteer as it gets, complete with very local talk shows and bizarre DJ sets. | http://stream.wcrsfm.org:8000/wcrsfm_a | ||
31 | WIXX 101 | Green Bay, WI | Top 40 Contemporary Hits | Wisconsin's hits station. | https://18683.live.streamtheworld.com/WIXXFMAAC.aac | ||
32 | WKRU The Big Dog | Green Bay, WI | Classic Rock | Extremely boomer classic rock station with morning zoo type hosts all the time. The music selection is about what you'd expect. Mostly fun as a curiosity. | https://17553.live.streamtheworld.com/WKRUFMAAC.aac | ||
33 | WTCX The Rock | Oshkosh, WI | Rock | A rock station that may have been one that my partner listened to while working as a delivery driver for Domino's. A nostalgia hit, but I have to admit, it has a solid lineup of fairly mainstream rock that isn't stuck in the "classic rock" era. Good for your basic BBQ rock jams. | https://ice24.securenetsystems.net/WTCX | ||
34 | WUWF HD2 | Pensacola, FL | Classical Music | University of Northwest Florida's classical music station | https://17993.live.streamtheworld.com/WUWFHD2.mp3 | ||
35 | WWSU | Dayton, OH | College Radio | Wright State University's station, headquartered in the Student Union. I used to have a radio show here where I would play electronic music. It mostly plays from an AutoDJ, but the original programming is still fun to tune into. I have a lot of great memories here. Unfortunately, the stream doesn't work with the radio app I use, XiiaLive. Still worth checking out! | https://server.wwsu1069.org/stream/ | ||
36 | WYSO | Yellow Springs, OH | NPR & Public Radio | Yellow Springs, Ohio's, public station, a service of Antioch College. Apart from NPR it has a bunch of great early-morning and late-evening programming that's just plain weird, a real musical variety. | https://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/api/livestream-redirect/WYSOFM.mp3 | ||
37 | WZLR The Eagle | Dayton, OH | 80's Rock & Pop | Dayton's 80s Station. I used to work here! I actually really like this channel, it's very music-forward and the selection really feels like a best-of US 80s music. The platonic ideal of an 80s rock station. | http://ih-streaming.cmgdigital.com/day953/day953-iheart.aac | ||
38 | Z-96 | Fort Walton Beach, FL | Top 40 Contemporary Hits | The top-40 station I used to listen to all the time as a kid and even called into constantly to request songs on. Nowadays it's just another top-40 station with likely pre-recorded DJ hits but as a kid it was magical, especially when they'd play Friday Night 80s. I have no idea if that or the morning show with Scratch and Laurie is still going but man, they felt like superstars growing up. | https://17553.live.streamtheworld.com/WZNSFMAAC.aac | ||

40 | Music (Stations that are music-focused without being terrestrial or local) | 1POWER | Internet-based | Rap Contemporary | Rap hits. Good to stay afloat. | http://216.235.89.134:80/1power | |
41 | 70s Great Hits | Internet-based | 70s Pop & Rock | A really fun variety channel that just plays 70s music, rock, disco, and pop. Simple but good. | https://stream.rcast.net/65790 | ||
42 | ABCPiano | Internet-based | Classical Piano | It's just piano. What can I say, I'm a piano freak. | https://streamingv2.shoutcast.com/ABC-Piano | ||
43 | Absolute 90s (1.FM) | Internet-based | 90s Hits | It's 90s hits! Pop, rock, and dance, usually a look at the English-language songs that were big in this particular decade. | https://strm112.1.fm/90s_mobile_mp3 | ||
44 | BacKBounce | Internet-based | Old School Hip-Hop & RnB | Absolutely fantastic lineup of old school rap and hip-hop. Jams after jams. | http://216.235.89.134:80/backbounce | ||
45 | Bob's Ska Radio | Internet-based | Ska | Ska station that has been streaming since 2008. Sometimes has some reggae, too! | https://usa19.fastcast4u.com:2030/ | ||
46 | Brokenbeats.net | Internet-based (Ukraine) | Atmospheric Drum'n'Bass | Fast drum'n'bass from the Ukraine, exactly how it sounds. Reminds me of fighting game music. Or maybe Wetrix. Either way, it's some really good modern techno. | http://stream.brokenbeats.net/tune | ||
47 | CalmRadio Solo Piano | Internet-based | Piano | Chill piano-only music | https://streams.calmradio.com:1228/stream/1/ | ||
48 | Chillsky Radio | Internet-based | Chillhop & Lo-Fi Hip-Hop | Look, it's just Lo-Fi Beats To Chill And Study To. It's not like the YouTube video has a radio stream, and this station has great imaging and just as fun a selection. Support it! | https://lfhh.radioca.st/stream | ||
49 | Classic Hip-Hop (TuneIn) | Internet-based | Old School Rap & Hip-Hop | A little harder than BacKBounce but still extremely high-quality. Being a TuneIn stream, it takes several tries to connect to it. If you wait it out and let it ride it'll get it eventually. | https://rfcmedia.streamguys1.com/classichiphop.mp3 | ||
50 | Dance Wave Retro! | Internet-based | Retro (Pre-00s) Dance | Your sweeping dance floor fillers and "beautiful woman singing while a guy shouts words" trance tunes. The kind of music I listened to in middle school. Still bangs. | https://retro.dancewave.online:443/retrodance.mp3 | ||
51 | Deep House (1.FM) | Internet-based | Deep House and Trance | So, this definitely is Deep House (think, like, uh, Matrix music?) but without the tropical house of SiriusXM Chill. Still really good music for when you want to pretend you're in a laser tag arena. | http://185.33.21.112:80/deephouse_mobile_aac | ||
52 | Disco Ball Radio (1.FM) | Internet-based | Disco (70s/Early 80s) | It's disco! It's less fresh than the other disco station on this list but it's still full of jams. | http://185.33.21.111:80/disco_128 | ||
53 | Disco Paradise | Internet-based | Disco (Classic & Contemporary-ish) | This is a fantastic station with killer disco offerings. It feels both throwbacky and also full of stuff you've never heard before. | https://broadcast.miami/proxy/thediscoparadise?mp=/stream/ | ||
54 | Electro Swing Jazz Radio | Internet-based (France) | Electro-Swing | My original favorite electro-swing radio station went off the air for a bit, so I had to find a replacement. This is decent for that! I mean, electro swing is admittedly a pretty basic genre with a lot of detractors but I just think it's neat. | https://jazz-wr04.ice.infomaniak.ch/jazz-wr04-128.mp3 | ||
55 | Electro Swing Radio | Internet-based (Germany) | Electro-Swing | So, this used to be called Electro-Swing Revolution Radio. They went off the air for a bit there and I guess rebranded to just Electro Swing Radio. I guess that's fine. It still has pretty much the best lineup of Electro-Swing out there, not that it's a hard genre to dominate. Still, I miss the DIY vibe it used to have. | https://streamer.radio.co/s2c3cc784b/listen | ||
56 | GAY FM | Internet-based (Germany) | Dance & Club | Okay, this station is hilarious because it's called Gay FM and I cannot find any indication of it being a queer station outside of some tags, it just plays dancefloor fillers constantly and the imaging all proudly just calls it GAY FM and anyway it's a real winner. The virgin Proud FM vs. the chad GAY FM | https://icepool.silvacast.com/GAYFM.mp3 | ||
57 | Gorilla FM (1.FM) | Internet-based | Downbeat House | 1 FM has some interesting "genres" when it comes to stations. I have no idea why this is called Gorilla FM but I'm not complaining. It seems to mostly play some interesting house music and sometimes stuff that sounds like Massive Attack. It's a vibe. | http://185.33.21.111:80/gorillafm_128 | ||
58 | KAZA FM | Internet-based (New York) | Party & LGBT | Dual-lingual Russian and English station that we found because it was tagged LGBT in the Shoutcast search. It's a really interesting curiosity as a result. Plays a solid variety of dance music but you can't say no to some queerness there too. | https://kazafm.radioca.st/; | ||
59 | Magic 80 Radio (1.FM) | Internet-based | Early 80s Discopop | Another great niche channel from 1FM, this time focused on synthpop and early 80s Euro-Disco. Excellent companion to Radio80 and Underground 80s. | http://185.33.21.111:80/magic80_128 | ||
60 | Movie Soundtracks Hits (1.FM) | Internet-based | Movie Soundtracks & Scores | Exactly what it sounds like - movie scores, famous movie songs, songs from the soundtracks, all labeled appropriately. Really good stuff. | http://185.33.21.111:80/moviesoundtracks_128 | ||
61 | Nightwave Plaza | Internet-based | Vaporwave | Vaporwave station that is internet-based. Great alternative to SomaFM's also excellent Vaporwave station. | https://radio.plaza.one/mp3 | ||
62 | No Signal FM | Internet-based (London) | Black-focused Variety | Made by and for black people in the UK, broadcasting 15 hours a day 7 days a week. Rose to prominence when they hosted live DJ battles where people had to riff on a theme. Really great underground music and scene as a result. | https://ns1.out.airtime.pro/ns1_a | ||
63 | NSB Radio | Internet-based (UK) | Breakbeat, Bass, & Hardstyle | DJ sets, curated playlists, and a focus on the underground club scene, with music to suit time and mood. | https://nsbradio.co.uk/listen.pls | ||

65 | NTS Radio 2 | Internet-based (Los Angeles) | International Independent Variety | NTS 1 & 2 focus on a diverse lineup intended to reflect the cities. I've heard everything from Aphex Twin to what sounds like the Resident Evil Director's Cut Mansion Theme (But Good) on here. | https://stream-relay-geo.ntslive.net/stream2 | ||
66 | Piano Jazz Radio | Internet-based (France) | Jazz & Piano | It's...a jazz station, focused on jazz music with piano backing or piano-focused jazz. Kind of Weather Channel-y. | https://jzr-piano.ice.infomaniak.ch/jzr-piano.mp3 | ||
67 | Radio 80,000 | Internet-based (Munich, Germany) | Avant-Garde Variety | Radio 80k is focused on bringing together very modern and fresh electronic sounds and sets with DJs curating the playlists. | https://radio80k.out.airtime.pro/radio80k_a | ||

72 | The Musical Box Radio | Internet-based (Argentina) | Prog Rock | Classic rock...except not. Seriously, everything on here sounds like Rush, or Genesis, or Supertramp. It's kind of fantastic. Sometimes they actually mix in classic prog and symphonic rock and I can't tell what is old and what is new. This station is a delight. | https://tmbradio.radioca.st/stream | ||
73 | Tsubaki Web Radio | Internet-based (Italy) | Anime | Italian station playing anime music. Absolutely killer presentation with great use of jingles and imaging, the metadata is on point, and the tracks it selects are all fantastic. I'm kind of in awe at how high-quality this station is. | http://stream.tsubakianimeradio.com:9000/play.mp3 | ||
74 | Vintage Obscura Radio | Internet-based | Underground Variety | If a track came out before 1996 and has less than 30,000 view on YouTube, it could end up on here. There is no set theme to the tracks picked to play on this channel, but they usually have curated playlists and themes such as a jazz set, a set featuring music from Latin America, etc. You're guaranteed to have a great time with this as a road trip station. | https://radio.vintageobscura.net/stream | ||
75 | Zen Attitude | Internet-based (France) | Slow Jazz | A station for slow jazz and relaxing. | https://zen-attitude.ice.infomaniak.ch/zen-attitude.mp3 | ||

99 | Underground 80s | Internet-based (San Francisco) | Alternative & European 80s | One of the other first SomaFM stations I discovered, mostly because I was looking for something to capture the magic of Radio80. While it doesn't do that, it DOES make for an excellent B-Side. Centered around the UK Synthpop style of the early 80s with a bit of new wave splashed in. | https://somafm.com/u80s.pls | ||
100 | Vaporwaves | Internet-based (San Francisco) | Vaporwave & Future Funk | A dream station for me, an utterly fantastic selection of killer vaporwave tracks complete with echoey nostalgic ads and imaging. I'm sorely tempted to submit some of my music to the DJ once I'm able. | https://somafm.com/vaporwaves.pls | ||
101 | |||||||
102 | Video Game Music (Stations that play game music or chiptune) | CVGM.net Radio | Internet-based | Chiptune, Demoscene, Retro PC | A great selection of old school PC music and Amiga demoscene and pirate chiptune. | https://radio.cvgm.net/static/media/misc/cvgm_streams.m3u | |
103 | Gensokyo Radio | Internet-based | Touhou Music | It doesn't surprise me that a Touhou station exists but it DOES make me happy that it seems to be a fairly modern creation. The music and remixes on this are, of course, fantastic, whether you're that familiar with Touhou or not. | https://stream.gensokyoradio.net/GensokyoRadio-original.m3u | ||
104 | Keygen-FM | Internet-based (Russia) | Music from keygens, Amiga demoscene | Keygens always have such great music because a lot of them are chiptunes created with Amiga sequencers. I'm so glad there's a station dedicated to collecting and playing these mysterious tracks of origin. A lot of times they were included in cracks to show off the crackers' musical skill. A flex and a tech demo all in one. | http://stream.keygen-fm.ru:8082/listen.pls | ||
105 | NoLife Radio | Internet-based | Video Game Music (Variety) | Independent long-running game music station | http://listen.nolife-radio.com:8000 | ||
106 | OverClocked Remix Radio | Internet-based | Video Game Arrangements (OCR) | Part of the Rainwave.cc family, playing only music from OCR. Apparently used for copyright-free music during streams and such. | http://ocremixstream.rainwave.cc:8000/ocremix.mp3 | ||
107 | Radio Hyrule | Internet-based | Zelda Music | "Where it's not Mario. Ever." | https://radiohyrule.com/listen.m3u | ||
108 | Radio Nintendo | Internet-based | Nintendo Music | A fairly standard Nintendo station that's been going for decades. It's fallen into a bit of an AutoDJ slump, but it's still a solid source of game music. | http://play.radionintendo.com:8005/stream | ||
109 | RadioSEGA | Internet-based | Sega Music | A great Sega station that plays everything from Sonic to Roommania. Another long-runner, with a cool community attached to it. | http://content.radiosega.net:8006/live | ||
110 | Rainwave (All) | Internet-based | Video Game Music, Arrangements, & Chiptune | Rainwave.cc is a site that hosts several selections of game music with a really cool front-end that allows logged-in users to make requests and vote on what song plays next. | http://allstream.rainwave.cc:8000/all.mp3 | ||
111 | Rainwave (Chiptune) | Internet-based | Chiptune | Rainwave's chiptune-only station | http://coverstream.rainwave.cc:8000/chiptune.mp3 | ||
112 | Rainwave (Covers) | Internet-based | Non-OCR Video Game Arrangements | Rainwave's covers, arrangements, and etc. channel that isn't tied to OverClocked ReMix. | http://coverstream.rainwave.cc:8000/covers.mp3 | ||
113 | Rainwave (Game) | Internet-based | Video Game Music (Variety) | Rainwave's game music channel, with a massive variety from pretty much anything ever. | http://gamestream.rainwave.cc:8000/game.mp3 | ||
114 | Rapture Radio | Internet-based | Oldies (Inspired by Bioshock) | An oldies station inspired by Bioshock, as it says. Sometimes even plays ads for Bioshock. Great atmosphere. | http://192.111.140.6:8411/;stream.mp3 | ||
115 | Retro PC Game Music - Gyusabu | Internet-based (Japan) | PC-98 Music | Retro PC-98 music & chiptune | http://stream.dar.fm/117313 | ||
116 | RPGN Radio | Internet-based | Video Game Music (Variety, RPG-heavy) | A standard game music channel, but the RPG and adventure game focus makes it sound quite unique. | http://stream.rpgamers.net:8000/rpgn | ||
117 | Sirena Beach Radio | Internet-based | Donkey Kong Country & Super Mario Sunshine | The radio station so nice, I've remade it thrice! It's a very narrow focus, but I find specifically the Donkey Kong Country series, Mario Sunshine, and Waterworld for the SNES to have an entirely relaxing vibe. This is niche, but it's my niche dammit. | http://108.61.142.122:8010/radio.mp3 | ||
118 | The SID Station | Internet-based | Commodore 64 & Amiga Chiptune | The SID chip gave every C64 song a super unique vibe, and with composers like Tim Folin, Martin Galway, and Rob Hubbard working their magic on it, you can't help but fall in love. So happy it has such a big cult following to this day. | http://185.80.220.12:8054/stream/1/ | ||
119 | VGM Radio | Internet-based | Video Game Music (Variety) | Another game music station that's been running for a fairly long time. Has a really well-made website and clearly-labeled metadata. | http://radio.vgmradio.com:8040/stream | ||
120 | WTMK: All Mario, All The Time | Internet-based | Mario Music | The first ever internet radio station I listened to and to this day one of my favorites. Mario music from the classic to the just-released, Mario sound effects, old Mario ads, and custom bumpers. It's a passion project that's been going on 20 years. | http://radio.themushroomkingdom.net:8000/wtmk.mp3.m3u ; http://radio.themushroomkingdom.net:8000/wtmk.opus.m3u |
