...Here's how to get started. There are a couple of basic sites, such as radio-stations.net and Web-Radio.com, which can link you to station websites by genre, from news, sports and talk to country, techno and hip-hop, or you can pick a location - say, Brazil - and surf or samba at will. Radio-locator.com, a site designed by the geniuses at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has a great geographical guide. You can also search the larger sites by using the call letters of a specific station to pull in the BBC, for example, or New Jersey's WFMU, which Rolling...
...looking for classical music, a site called classicalwebcast.com guides you to stations around the globe. That's how I found Vltava in Prague, which plays a sophisticated selection of classical music. If you're curious about all this Icelandic pop you keep hearing about, you can do a more general search. Using "Icelandic radio stations" as keywords on Excite, I immediately got within a click of my destination - RUV, the national pop station...

For sheer novelty, I travel to Germany for an oldies fix: Berlin's Radio Paradiso still plays David Soul and Captain & Tennille...
...There's also plenty on offer from American broadcasters. KPIG in Freedom, California, which features a freewheeling mix of rock, folk and roots music, was an Internet trailblazer: in 1995 it became the first station to go live online, and since then it has built a global following. So has texasrebelradio.com, the online home of KFAN, Fredericksburg, Texas, whose offerings have a boisterous twist. Mueller recommends Santa Monica, California's KCRW, in particular Morning Becomes Eclectic, which runs weekdays from 9 a.m. to noon Pacific time and attracts entertainment-industry insiders to its latte-friendly rock, folk, jazz and world...
