Know any free (as in free formats) online radio stations?

[mostwanted]

Please let me know, currently I only have the French classical station and the Virgin radio station included in Rhythmbox for Dapper :)

Here you go. It works with XMMS and BEEP. They probably work with the others too, but I havent tried.

Hm... that seems to be all mp3?

[thoffland]

You should have an option to open URL... then just copy and paste it in there. If you can play streaming media content, then it should work. If you dont see the URL after clicking on the "tune in" button, try clicking on the link to the website and get it from there.

Hope this helps.

Thoffland I think Mostwanted is looking for streams in free and open audio formats. mp3 is a patented and closed format.

Mostwanted, you can find some ogg streams at Xiph. I have no idea where their website is though. I found their ogg streams by clicking on the Xiph tab in the program Stream Tuner. Then i picked "edit->search in all categories" from the menues on top and searched for "ogg".

Ah, my mistake.
