    I love Hober (http://hober.com/) - great "unvarnished" music

    Also Radio LeMans, when the 24 Heur Du Mans is on! :Lplates:

    I listen mostly to ClassicFM and BBC1 and 2, not strictly music though. Not many others that I know of. What's the best station for Jazz?

    Q is fantastic on freeview. It's like they've stolen my album collection and are playing it back to me. No ads either, which is brilliant. Commercial radio ads are unbearbly awful.

    Resonance FM for me! London only though for full FM loveliness (or internet for others).

    Some great field recordings played on there that test the believability of your hifi.

    Radio Swiss Classic

    AVRO Classical

    AVRO Baroque

    D-Dur

    Now D-Dur is an interesting station. I stream all my radio with a Squeezebox. D-Dur is an OGG stream, which SB will stream

    http://www.rozhlas.cz/audio/download/ddur_maxogg.m3u

    but there is a lossless stream which runs at about 800Kb/s

    http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac

    This is FLAC in an OGG container.

    Few softwares will capture it

    You can tune in with Foobar on a PC, or VLC on any platform.

    Well worth a listen.

    The lossless stream is better, but not so much better that I often abandon the convenience of the Squeezebox.
