What I've been looking for!
I've been looking for a thread like this forever! I shoulda just started on myself!
KEXP is great most of the time.
Indie Pop Rocks as mentioned I think is part of SomaFM.com who has streams for many types of music, most of them quite enjoyable, like the spy music one too.
There's also WFMU (http://wfmu.org/wfmu.pls) in New York/New Jersey (128 K stereo MP3 stream!)
and from the Bay Area, CA:
KZSU ( http://kzsulive.stanford.edu/audio/kzsu-1-128.m3u)
KUSF (http://kusf.org/index.shtml)
KFJC (http://netcast.kfjc.org:8976/listen.pls)
KALX (http://kalx.berkeley.edu/ only in real
)
Radio K in Minneapolis (http://radiok.cce.umn.edu/radiok/)
I think I have some more at home
Can you tell I used to be a college radio DJ?

Adding Radio Stations to iTunes
The "Radio" in iTunes is handled by Apple. You can't add radio stations to that icon's list. However, it looks like you are adding radio stations the correct way. You create a Playlist, label it something like "Radio", and add any or all radio stations to it from Apple's Radio icon, AND add any you find on the net using, Menu Bar > Advanced > Open Stream. Once you open the stream, you would be able to drag it from your Library to your new Radio. Incidentally, when you're on Apple's "Radio" you can use the "Refresh" button to check for updated radio stations that the company has added/subtracted.

UK Radio
I like British sounds too but find Virgin Radio too pop oriented and the constantly repeating commercials annoying.
Cable Radio UK (in the International section of iTunes Radio) is a little better.
They're also at skywaveradio.com

Arabic traditional music/Qur'an stations?
Hello!
Does anyone know if there are stations somewhere playing traditional Arabic songs, or Qur'anic recitation?
All such stations I have discovered have either are seemingly abandoned, play hideous Arabic pop music, or broadcast in a format unfriendly to iTunes. Probably this is just the state of things, but maybe someone here knows differently.
Thanks and Eid Mubarak if you celebrate!

KCRW Music is fantastic. A truly eclectic variety of music. Find it under Public (they are an NPR affiliate).
I actually found this under iTunes Americana section, and it simply rules:
http://www.bootliquor.com/
alt-country, with LOTS of songs about drinking, whiskey, booze, and livin' the good life!

Radio Icon
I don't have one of those in the Source Window.
(iTunes 4.7.1 on OS 10.3.8)
Anybody know why? Is it possibly disabled for UK residents?
I've visited the UK iTMS a couple of times and have an account...

go to your iTune's preferences, you might have unchecked it, so that it wouldnt show up in your Source view

I find the iTunes program's support for radio very disappointing. Most radio stations, and all that I want to listen to, are not listed. Many of them support Real or Windows but not even MP3. Those that do support MP3 (VPR _finally!_) don't work all that well.
iTunes classic
I've been using Groove salad [in the electronica section] since the first iTunes and will be till doomsday, or till they remove it.

iTunes list
Here are 2 sites with links to different radio streams. I haven't checked all of them but most are easily opened [cut and paste] in iTunes.

One I like from the iTunes list is DI.fm Chillout from the Ambient section.
Another I'd recommend is Groove Radio which despite the appalling bitrate (16kbps) is a good listen.

Groove Salad kicks ass. I've found a ton of new artists whose work I like (Laurel, Sounds From The Ground, Boards Of Canada, Sasha, to name a few) and my CD collection is growing at about 2 CDs per month now.m_lepine said:
Used to be able to get KPIG (my favorite radio station) through the iTunes radio, but now it's subscription only thanks to the radio nazis.
