Radio Paradise [1] is also going strong after 20+ years. Fantastic curation and you can even stream in lossless for free (or at least I seem to be able to from the Android TV app). [1] https://radioparadise.com/ https://radioparadise.com/

What I like about RadioParadise is that I don't have to pigeon-hole the music I listen to. Sometimes you do want a particular genre, and other times I'm happy to be led by an expert curator. RadioParadise is superb for the latter.

I love Radio Paradise! One of the best things about it is how the main mix transcends genres. I consider it basically a rock station, but they'll also play Country, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Classical and miscellaneous other stuff. In a single song set you can easily go from Led Zeppelin to Radiohead to Johnny Cash to Arctic Monkeys to Stevie Wonder to Billie Eilish to JS Brahms to some West African singer you'd never had heard of otherwise. It's great for musical discovery.

Agreed! I've been "harvesting" their playlist (via their published RSS feed) for ~5 years now, storing an entry for each played song in a MySQL db table. I'm not doing anything with this data right now, but at some point in the future when Bill & Rebecca retire, I take comfort in knowing I'll be able to munge together a lot of RP-quality playlists. :)

  Any possibility of sharing that on GitHub or similar? I and I’m sure others would be interested! And if you decide to do so, thank you for your hard work!

Do you know of other lossless internet radios?

  So it says it’s a “lossless” stream but I don’t think it really is because my Yamaha receiver “Enhancer” (compressed music enhancer mode) mode still shows active. For truly lossless streams like Amazon Music’s HD/Ultra HD, my “Enhancer” indication disappears/does not show, because it’s receiving a lossless stream (at least 16/44.1)
