Internet Radio

I'm getting into listening to some free internet radio - it's great while I work (I'm a lab rat). Does anybody have any good recommendations of ITM stations. I'm at present using Live365 which has 50-60 Irish stations, about 3-4 of which I quite like. But it's hard to get one with really trad music, so that I can get more listening to the really great trad players and pick up on their ways of playing. (Down where I live recorded music can be quite hard to come by).

Re: Internet Radio

Try browsing through the internet radio section in iTunes.

Re: Internet Radio

There's a few Irish internet stations that play trad stuff. Look for RTE stuff, I think... it's been a while since I could listen to internet radio, so I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful, it's usually my thing.

Try pandora.com as well, they have some decent stuff, though they throw in random stuff every now and then.

Re: Internet Radio

I've just started listening to Accuradio's Celtic and Traditional Irish channels which are a great distraction when I'm supposed to be doing something else!

Try these links

Re: Internet Radio

I listen to LiveIreland. It's under the Folk label when you click on itunes Radio.

Re: Internet Radio

Glad you like it Duijera Dubh. Just a word of caution. I've got in the habit of sitting at the computer with Accuradio playing in one tab and my Amazon account open in another, searching and plopping CDs into the basket as I listen. Be warned!

Re: Internet Radio

Sashiko, are you using IE Explorer? It doesn't seem to work with Firefox and any plugins mentioned are for very old versions.

Re: Internet Radio

Interesting you mention that deeor. I'm using Accuradio on my PC under Windows Vista and my browser is Mozilla Firefox. It works fine. However, it doesn't work on my laptop in Firefox. It only works under Internet Explorer

Re: Internet Radio

Thanks all for the help. I'll be exploring the options. Luckily the boss is rather tolerant!

Re: Internet Radio

Should have said I'm on XP S3 and version 3.5 of Firefox. Will try it on my Linux machine tomorrow

Re: Internet Radio

deeor....There's a plugin for firefox for sites that work only with IE. Its called IETab and should solve your problems.

Nice one, bugyabby!

Re: Internet Radio

Not strictly ITM (in fact only sporadically) but http://www.hober.com is quite fun as it's a pretty eclectic mix of folk-ish stuff. Quite diverting if you fancy a change.

# Posted on July 7th 2009 by Mark Harmer

Re: Internet Radio

Yep, Hober is fun. They call it "unvarnished" music and that's about the only thread running through it.

Re: Internet Radio

LiveIreland. I have it on iTunes. You just click radio, then folk music, and LiveIreland will be down on that list. It is a great station.
