→ 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 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PunkCast is no longer maintained.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.
