Radiofreefedi.net is a super cool internet radio with a couple stations that plays music from fediverse artists, along with a “words” station that plays non-music stuff like podcasts or other kinds of spoken programming
I’ve really enjoyed it and only learned about it cause someone here on lemmy mentioned it in passing, I thought I’d share so other folks know about it as well :)
have these streams been added to radio-browser.info?
Eee, they sure should be!! I found your post because I wanted to see if the Fediverse knew about Radio-Browser.Info. I love that place, as I can explore so much curated music from so many places around the world.
The three music radio stations have been, but the words channel has not yet.
I’ll probably go take another look at adding it at some point but it seemed like a pain on mobile
For those interested in getting into listening to internet radio, see also: https://dir.xiph.org/ (Icecast network) and https://directory.shoutcast.com/ (Shoutcast network), both of which have been around for ~25 years at this point if the domain registry is anything to go by. Definitely in their current forms for over a decade.
Caveat: Lots of commercial content and stations, which is, of course, antithetical to Fediverse ideology. Still worth a look if you can’t (yet) find what you want in the Fediverse.
(There’s also http://radio.garden/ which has a very pretty interface but has multiple negative points: in-browser only, needs a lot of JavaScript access to station-associated domains on a per-station basis, is HTTP(no S)-only and may not work for stations outside your own country.)
Oh, Heck Yeah! Those are great linx! I love Icecast, Shoutcast! So much musical diversity!
I hate that it constantly plays advertisements for itself. Like, I’m already listening to you, I don’t need to be informed that you exist.
Thats fair. I’d guess it probably helps get people to contribute, since it’s a community-run kinda thing
If so, could contributors be given a link that doesn’t advertise?
