I used to have Soma FM streaming on my land - seems like that's no more since some change in webcasting rates that means some stations can't afford to operate, or something like that:( Does anyone know of any good alternative url's for any radio stations still going? I like to have more ambient type music on my land.

Thanks in advance for any replies:)

The increase is 300% - 1200% retroactive to Jan 1 2006, additionally there is a 500$ fee for each channel. The new rates go into effect this Sunday (the 15th). It is expected that many companies (Yahoo for example) will stop internet radio broadcasting, additionally it is expected that many will declare bankruptcy.

Seems to just be the US stations that will be affected. There are plenty more around the world you can use...

Go to http://www.shoutcast.com and find a station you want. Next RIGHT click on the "listen" button, and choose "save target as..." - save this file (normally called xxx.pls) as xxx.txt

You can then open the file with notepad or similar and see the stream url that you can use in SL :)
