Radio URLs to add to a a 50's Diner jukebox list. Help appreciated :)

[Carmsie Melodie]

I am creating a 50's diner. I have added a jukebox that came with preinstalled radio stations (via a menu driven by a notecard list). My problem is none of the current stations are specifically 1950's or jukebox-ish. I'd like to add a few stations that match the theme to the top of the notecard list. I am looking for the URLs that work in SL, not just the radio station's general URL.  Any ideas? 

Thanks! C

See the wiki article on Music streams for some ideas.

In particular, I've found Radionomy (listed under "Other Resources") very useful indeed.

Let's see if this sticks this time...

Take a look at www.shoutcast.com to id stations that are playing content you want to hear.

Then Lets say you want Nature Sounds...

Go to

http://www.shoutcast.com/radio/Nature

Pick any MP3** stream link and right-mouse click on it. Select the Save target as... ????.pls to your desktop. Open it with any text editor. Inside you will see something like the following:

[playlist] numberofentries=1 File1=http://88.80.200.195:8000 Title1=(#1 - 13/80) stream.silent.li organic relax radio: nature sounds Length1=-1 Version=2

The Land URLs is the http://....at File=1

In this example http://88.80.200.195:8000

So in this case do: World / About Land / Sound / and set the Music URL: to http://88.80.200.195:8000

Good Listening to you!



P.S. ** It's important that you pick a station broadcasting streaming MP3 because the FMOD service that comes with SL only recognizes and supports this method.
