→ Contrib/Extra Channels

Besides the standard channels, there are a few more plugins available for download. See the Plugin Manager and its 📦 Add tab.

Reddit

Reddit is a social media site. Among its various sections is a large /r/Music subreddit group. Most of them link popular or novel Youtube music videos, or user-produced content etc. Radioreddit.com even provides streaming servers. This plugin can also list Soundcloud/Mixcloud/Bandcamp links. But those would require a custom audio player. There's an extra Soundcloud plugin however, which makes those streams readily playble.

Di.fm

"Digitally Imported" are mostly electronic music radio stations. The freely available stations stream with 64kbit/s AAC+ only.

Radio.net

Radio.net is a European radio directory. It nicely catalogues stations into genres as usual. The primary list is ordered by popularity even.

Magnatune

Magnatune is an independent label for artists. It makes most albums available for free listening with only a few intermittent adverts. Otherwise it's a flatrate payable music discovery and download service.

PublicRadioFan

PublicRadioFan.com hosts a huge lists of worldwide radio stations. This plugin displays just the genre list though.

WindowsMedia

Is actually a Windows-specific streaming directory. Station entries are converted from ASX into standard playlist formats by ST2.

Delicast

Delicast.com is another web directory of radio stations. It's somewhat slower because playback addresses are hidden away with extra page requests. Works reliably still.

ListenLive.eu

ListenLive is also an Europe-centric radio directory.

PunkCast

PunkCast is no longer maintained. It covered the NY music and tech scenes, but existing recordings are still accessible mostly (some are just weblinks howeever). This plugin is kept for nostalgic reasons; it was available with streamtuner1 as well.

GrLittleRadioPlayer

Great Little Radio Player is another Linux desktop radio browser. It comes with a default set of categorized stations. This plugin merely imports that list as static directory.

Compound

The compound channel is a meta plugin. It can aggregate categories from other channel plugins on a per-category basis. You for example can mash Top40 or Classic genres from Shoutcast, Xiph, InternetRadio, Tunein, etc. Which avoids switching between channel tabs somewhat.

File browser

You can also browser local files with streamtuner2 using the file browser plugin. It must be configured with your music collection path. It's not a default plugin, because this isn't really what Streamtuner2 is made for. There are way better local music collection managers for Linux. It's just here for convenience, and displays files just as any other channel list. It has no specific file management features, and won't get any.
