In times of doom and gloom, these favourite threads always cheer me up. What's your favourite parcel streaming URL? Mine is playing in NW Taber where I'm settling down as soon as enough trees sell to afford one of Kismet's Ashthorne Manor houses:

Ancient FM - Commercial-free Mediaeval and Renaissance Music

Evie · 06-09-2010, 03:46 PM

I hope I get what you mean here...but the Pixel Mode sim plays the BEST music in my mind

Thats if its not changed from the last time I was there. Its a gorgeous soft piano kind of music. I usually have my sound down because of being at work or people around at home but when there I treat myself

I love the Soma FM channels, especially Indie Pop Rocks.

**Reality Control** · 06-09-2010, 04:12 PM

big ups for somafm, especially secret agent and groove salad.

Free Xue · 06-09-2010, 04:32 PM

M2 is a French operation with some fantastic genre stations. M2 Analog, their 80's station, I find particularly great as they broadcast an unbelievably broad selection of music. I find myself often hunting down songs for my own DJing when I listen to it.

Gaia FM--Music for the Soul -- 88.6/107.0 Tauranga, New Zealand
Gaia FM.

Lalo Telling · 06-09-2010, 04:38 PM

SomaFM for me, too, on my own parcel. "Groove Salad", "Drone Zone" or "Tag's Trip", depending on mood.

...and it turns out, I already had Khamon's stream bookmarked from the last time I went to Fate Gardens

~~BTW, Khamon - what's going on in Taber? The Cove is gone, there's a big square floor and the parcel's now called Fate Manor...~~

Evie · 06-09-2010, 04:40 PM

Loving these links! Thanks all!

Anti Antonelli · 06-09-2010, 04:43 PM

Groove Salad all the way for my parcel, although I do listen to other somafm streams other places and outside SL.

**Madison Talon** · 06-09-2010, 04:56 PM

This is the one that was always on at The USO Club....love it!

There are several XRM stations, and I really like the Techno XRM at http://94.76.204.91:8100.

One of the very first stations I was turned on to when I joined SL was Radio IO Ambient, but I can't find it on Winamp now. They played the most amazing world music/jazz/ambient stuff, kinda like Groove Salad or Drone Zone (http://scfire-dtc-aa06.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1032) in some ways.

ZenRadio FM is pretty awesome too! ZenRadio FM

Khamon · 06-09-2010, 06:15 PM

Fate Manor was my original build in Taber back in the day. I have another name in mind for my retirement home. The trees, at least a rotating selection of them, will remain available exclusively in The Botanical Gardens as long as they don't bite Isablan's toes.

Oh double doh for me as well; we ain't got no toes! I may package some tree sets and list them on whatever the Lab is calling their rerereorganized shopping site next month.

Maybe, we'll see.

Naeve · 06-09-2010, 06:39 PM

For it's soft and gentle sound with a classy bent, I like Martini in the Morning: SHOUTcast Administrator

There's a station I heard on Sirius that I would really love to put on a stream in-world, but I doubt it's available. It's called The Coffeehouse and it's all acoustic.

Lalo Telling · 06-09-2010, 06:39 PM

Glad I got some pics of the Cove (while doing my historical survey) before it poofed:

Mabb Dilweg · 06-09-2010, 07:50 PM

I love Martini in the Morning too, but the ads are pervasive and I have zero tolerance for them. I use SomaFM's stations exclusively on my sims because there are no ads. I also subscribe to Soma to help keep them that way

My personal favourite changes with my mood but the club radios in Dissolution revert to Lush when the club stream is dropped. Groove Salad, Beat Blender & Sonic Universe are the most common ones we tune into on Decadence when one of us isn't actually streaming our own music, which we do a lot, especially when we're working (ie building, photoshopping etc). I actually listen to SomaFM outside of SL too, via WMP.

Sunshine Carami · 06-09-2010, 07:53 PM

Radio Polska http://91.121.89.153:9900 is one we listen to the most. I tend to listen to this one: http://komplex2.psyradio.org:8030/ whenever I try to build. We use to have a guitar music stream that was quite nice but we seem to have lost it.

Jenn Luke · 06-09-2010, 07:54 PM

The Buzz for me, although currently listening to a steam made by a friend that has lots of Nin and nordic EBM.

my absolute favorite internet radio station. :Y

**Samantha Poindexter** · 06-09-2010, 10:59 PM

My own parcel is set to AVRO Baroque, mostly because my church is on the ground level, but it's nice and soothing:
http://shoutcast.omroep.nl:8068/

The 1920s Radio Network is fun as well:
http://tess.fast-serv.com:8570/

Zena Juran · 06-10-2010, 05:10 PM

I've been using this one forever. It's meditative at times with light fusion jazz sort of. There's no breaks for commercials or any talk. I don't remember what it was listed as but I did find it on Shoutcast.

Icecast Streaming Media Server

Enjoy!

edit: I see that the name of the server popped up after I copy/pasted the url. :-)

Khamon · 06-11-2010, 09:46 AM

These are fabulous streams and locations I hadn't visited. Thanks everyone for participating in the thread.

Aki Shichiroji · 06-11-2010, 10:24 AM

Also putting my lot in with SomaFM, though here are a few others i fall back on as well.

Radio Paradise is an old standby with a great variety of tunes. I've occasionally heard music from folks who are also live musicians in SL played as well. Radio Paradise - commercial free Internet radio - modern & classic rock, electronica, world music & more - picked & mixed by real humans.

Radio Nigel is a reasonable standby featuring 80s rock: SHOUTcast Administrator

The Weasel, i would say, is a mix of 80s-90s rock? It allows for requests as well. http://relay-1.weasel.net:8230/

Katheryne Helendale · 06-13-2010, 02:38 PM

I like the SKY.FM music services, and I'll bounce around between its streams depending on my mood. I have a shoutcast player on my desktop so I can listen anytime. On my home parcel, I usually keep it on SKY.FM's Love Songs channel.

Spaceman Opus · 06-13-2010, 03:15 PM

I've always enjoyed KONA Radio. Nice mix of classic rock and eclectic weirdness.
