(Is internet-radio still a thing? Like dedicated internet-radio stations, as opposed to IRL-radio stations who happen to have a web player. I don’t even remember the name of the shoutcast index, and shoutcast itself seems to have been bought out several times over. My gut tells me that on-demand streaming like spotify + podcasts have probably totally killed the space that internet radio used to occupy...)
Really can't say where the break was, where I ditched WinAmp/Foobar 2000 and had only Spotify left.
Will have to look into internet radio, the other commenter is very positive about that.
Digitally Imported is still good, speaking as a happy customer.
DI.FM?
They're still up, although I don't know how up-to-date their rotation is. I stopped listening to their "stations" when they stopped being a radio, and became a sort of an on-demand streaming service, where every user is fed a different random playlist, and what one hears when tuning into a station is not what everyone else is hearing. They admittedly switched their business in order to pay less taxes, but it completely destroyed the feeling of social connection with other listeners for me. On top of that, closing the lively forums, which provided a comment section for all tracks and shows played on the stations, sure did not help. In retrospect, freeloading those 96kbps mp3 / 64kbps wma / 48kbps aac streams was a good experience; today it's not the same anymore.
(Big off topic, but I don't care much. Those not interested probably collapsed this comment section at its root and are not reading this anyway.)
