2012 - Best Current Online Streaming music sources and radio

[mmg_fan]

Hi<br>
It's quite a while since I last posted. I was wonder if other Transporter -Squeezebox owners might share their up to date favorite streaming radio sources. Is there anything that approaches 'audiophile' quality available via streaming? I know that's a very subjective question, but at the very least I'm only interested in high data rate streams.

IMO Spotify Premium (320 Ogg Vorbis) sounds fine.

depends on what genre you want. One approach is to go into my apps > shoutcast > settings, and then set the bitrate limiting to only return streams above a certain level (e.g., 256). Then you can search on genre and get listings of high bit rate stations. If using paid service, like MOG, you can get 320kbs or 256kbs streams.....

Qobuz.com, CD quality stream...etc.

Without a doubt:
Spotify Premium (320 Ogg Vorbis)

a vast library, also for classical music and excellent sound quality. Plus lightning fast, you choose a title and immediately starts.

....and the worst UI anybody has ever created for a music service and an iOS App that is just soooo behind.

I'd prefer MOG it it were officially available here and if they'd just fix sharing links (actually the only upside of Spotify that comes to my mid, albeit a big one)

Before you do a Spotify subscription if also check their library using the free service, here's not impressed, they still have less than half of even the new stuff I'm searching for, although this is true for any service you may name

I cancelled spotify and moved to MOG.

I like MOG quite a lot. Can I stream it to SBT using iPeng on my iPhone?

I can browse, search, select MOG favorites, etc. all from ipeng controlling my SB players. Should show up under my apps in ipeng. Works well.
