I find myself listening to the Norwegian NRK Jazz station a lot, lately.
A nice addition to the Jazz Groove.

Well done to Mrs Bruss.
Was it the 181.fm True Blues channel - it’s excellent.
181.FM have over 40 different channels and post all their URLs on their homepage - if only every Internet Radio station did that - see www.181.fm

Yep, Blues channel.
What is the best internet radio in your opinion? Of course I don’t mean from the point of view of content (which is subjective), but of the technical quality of listening.
I have hesitated in responding to your question because I think the content is key as long as the SQ is good regardless of format.
For rock/pop my choice is PureClassix (search Pure Classix on vTuner/Naim as the name is still wrong).
Long list is
PureClassix (Netherlands) (flac 16/48)
Radio Paradise Mellow Mix (New York, USA) (flac)
JB Radio2 (Canada) (flac 16/48)
Timewarp Ireland (Waterford, Ireland) (mp3/128) - do not ignore it - a great station.
I listen to jazz, blues, folk, classical and have around 200 excellent stations on my radio playlist.
I have listed many of these stations previously on this thread.
What genre(s) do you listen to?
P.S. PureClassix appears to be streamed off the same servers as the Naim radio flac streams.

Many thanks for your reply. I don’t know PureClassix which I will look for immediately, I often listen to Radio Paradise Mellow Mix which I consider to be of very high quality.
Currently the genre I listen to most is Jazz, among my favorite radio stations there are Jazz24, WBGO, WRTI, Jazzradio Schwarzenstein and others… it’s a world in which there is pleasantly a lot to discover.
I stream with Bluesound Node 3rd generation.

Further to @bruss’s recommendation, I’ve been listening to 181.fm True Blues for the last couple of hours. I only went to it to see what it was like, but it’s surprisingly good. Good sound too and it’s only 128kbps.

I wish this had been around when I was a teenager learning to play guitar.
I wish I’d learnt to play the guitar that I made as a project at school. An Old drawing board ( who remembers them?) as the sound board, everything else out of pukka materials, steam bent as appropriate etc. I learned the chords for House of the rising sun, and that was about it. 
As a teenager I took classical lessons, which at least taught me to read music and develop a good right hand technique. I guess if I’d had access to an all blues radio station then, I’d have found my way to the crossroads somewhat sooner.

Thanks again!
The Jazz24 aac/256 stream seems to be down at the moment.

It is probably a temporary glitch (as it is normally a reliable station).
The mp3/128 stream is OK.

The aac/256 is obviously the better SQ. So maybe best to wait.
@DiggyGun Airable informed in case you are missing your fix. - Update Airable is OK now.
@Stevesky I think it is also down on vTuner.

Hi @Paul_C
This one is a somewhat bigger than just Jazz24. Due to a domain name change about 1000 USA centric radio streams no longer work.
VTuner have been informed.
Regards
Steve

Oouch.
I noticed the domain change on Jazz24 but strangely the new aac/256 link did not work but the mp3/128 did. Update - the aac stream is now working but not sure if vTuner is sorted.
