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

Is a continent/country-oriented radio directory. The stream formats vary wildly however.

Is another big commercial radio directory.

Another 15K radio station directory. Extraction can be a bit slow for large max_stations settings.

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

Station database that's readily available as CSV list. You'll currently need the tmp_clean_multiurl plugin as well, as most entries supply multiple URLs, but action.py doesn't support those currently.

Categorized station list by a cross-platform streaming service provider.

House-mixes.com provides a growing collection of DJ mixes (house, dance, etc). The website can be used after a free registration to download complete MP3s (often in high quality). In Streamtuner2 you can even drag and drop them onto your desktop directly.

PunkCast is no longer maintained.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

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.

You can also browse 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. (ID3 editing or file renaming were planned, but never implemented.)

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