Recommended radios to listen with Rhythmbox

[marianom]

I'm looking for radios that mainly play 80's english rock and pop all day long and can be tuned with Rhythmbox. If it's possible, minimal amount of people talking (I don't mind the language, even if I don't understand it).

If you've got something to recommend, I'll appreciate it.

Here's a bunch for you:

Personally I think pandora.com or last.fm are way better than streaming stations. They're radio 2.0

Last.fm is great (using last-exit). I also like virgin radio, although it has some talking.

Thanks folks for your recommendations.

I'm now considering last.fm and although I cannot really understand what it is about (hard night, my brain isn't working yet) I'll check.

It seems I need to download some client, didn't found it in the repos.

shoutcast is great. i found last.fm to be a pain in the butt, but i tend to be both lazy and impatient.

why rhythmbox??? just launch Streamtuner and browse the shoutcast tab... then doubleclick on one that interests you... :)

Because Rhythmbox is its own program. I think it's cleaner, nicer, and more reliable not to have third party programs opening to play things for you (as long as the first party program is clean, reliable and nice). I'm not a big fan of having to listen to a radio station through a web browser (I know you don't have to for every option on Streamtuner, but some of them are like that).

Hmm—when I tried Streamtuner, I didn't see any items under the Shoutcast tab. How do I populate it?

Anyone know how to listen to Pandora through a program like Rhythmbox, rather than through a web browser?

I had a problem with streamtuner not populating the shoutcast directory then i accidental did a search under it and boom all the music i could take

Hands down..
di.fm
thats it access to add free internet radio is a few clicks away, completely free too :)
I listen to classical and some Classic rock using it. for winblows there is a program called something rip, which allows you to record individual tracks from Web radio. Its where i get most of my music from.

In terms of playing pandora without having to put up with flash, there is pianobar (http://6xq.net/html/00/17.html) if you don't mind CLI... you can probably stream that into something gooier too :)

Nice threadcromancy...

[vedek]

i quite like rhythm box too for listening to radio track, no need to download a program if it works out of the box. as for radio stations i am a classic fm kinda guy.

Thanks for this. I've been looking for a good Pandora client. Loving this one!

Pithos is a delightful gui front end to pianbar. See http://kevinmehall.net/p/pithos/

I just installed this and I think it's wonderful. So much better than having it open in Chrome.

Thanks!

I've installed this and it works great, much better than making application shortcuts with Google Chrome.

I wrote a Rhythmbox plugin for Pandora (https://github.com/mzheng/rhythmbox-pandora) basing it on Pithos. Check it out if you guys like using one player for both local music and Pandora.

Nice, Think you could do one for Amarok?
