## More channels to install

Besides the standard channels, there are a few more plugins available for download. See the Plugin Manager and its `📦 Add` tab, where you can easily install them.

#### 📻 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.

#### 📻 radiolist.net

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

#### 📻 streema.com

Is another big commercial radio directory.

#### 📻 rcast.net

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

#### 📻 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.

#### 📻 RadioSure

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.

#### 📻 vTuner

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

#### 📻 house-mixes

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.

#### 📻 Radionomy

Radionomy was an internet radio streaming directory, now merged back into Shoutcast. The site is still somewhat accessible, but the plugin mostly broken.

#### 📻 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PunkCast is no longer maintained.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 however). 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.

#### 📻 File browser

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.)

#### 📻 Compound

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.
