I had just gotten earphones from my flight back to the US from GUADEC so I decided to listen to some Internet radio at work. To my lament it didn’t have any web radio stations. Colin informed me that it was because all the stations usually listed were mp3 feeds. So off I went searching for ogg feeds. I didn’t expect to find much or anything of high quality. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Virgin has three high quality ogg streams. I am impressed that such a mainstream outlet supports a free codec. Now I am sure their reasonings are more pragmatic but it is cool to see and hopefully more stations will follow. Kudos to them.
Does anyone know of any other high quality, long lived ogg streams we could perhaps ship with in Rhythmbox?

Radio Canada has some I have been told.

However BBC stopped doing it.

The CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation – Canada’s public broadcaster) is experimenting with Ogg streams of CBC Radio One and Radio Two: http://www.cbc.ca/listen/ogg.html
I’m not sure how permanent the URLs would be since it’s an experiment, but I think they’ve been up where they are now for almost a year. Perhaps an email to the CBC could confirm the permanence of the URLs.

http://www.rozhlas.cz/audio/vysilani/ has a list of all the Czech public stations. The major ones have wma, ogg and mp3 to chose frome.

There’s a german college radio station in Munich with OGG streams (and good music, but YMMV):

(Okay, I know it has been two years, but …)
James,
Where are there OGG feeds on WFMU? I’m trying to listen just now and I see Real and MP3 (and Rhythmbox wont’ give me any errors, it just kind of ignores my attempts to add the feeds. Sigh.)
