Xiph.org

Xiph.org is a non-profit organization, which develops and promotes the OGG audio format. It also hosts a list of ICEcast streaming stations (ICEcast is the non-commercial pendant to the SHOUTcast server.)

This channel is especially easy to read by Streamtuner2, because the source data is already provided as <XML> file. However, it lacks some essential informaitons like station homepages and listener numbers.

Xiph also uses the .xspf format, instead of .pls stream links

Filter by minimum bitrate

The bitrate of an audio stream determines the music quality. Many Xiph streams have simple and low quality microphone sources. To filter these out, and only leave high quality music stations, you can therefore set this option. OGG starts to sound good with 128 kbit/s (whereas MP3 often needs 192 at least).
