I find a very useful web site for browsing stations in Europe, North America,
Australia, and New Zealand is Mike's Radio World. Being handicapped by only
being fluent in English, I find the stations on this site to satisfy most of my
content curiousity. It includes both RF broadcasters and internet only
stations. My favorite is Live Ireland 1 which specializes in continuous Irish
traditional music.

>I copied over a musing from David Goren on this yesterday - it's an
>aspect of radio that's intuitive on AM / FM / Shortwave but not as
>much on Internet Radio
>
>He's right, but there are ways around this -- aggregators like TuneIn
>give you the opportunity to browse stations as well, and, generally,
>to then use one click to tune in.
>
>The Tunein website offers several ways to browse their lists - by
>format and location.
>
>The location is a bit misleading because it's not hierarchical. For
>example, browsing for "South America" yields only 20 stations.
>Browsing "Argentina" also yields only 20 stations. However, browsing
>"Buenos Aires" yields 355 stations.
>
>While a listing on Tunein generally only features live streaming, you
>can then click on a station's name to get a listing of scheduled
>programs, the station's website, and other information.
>
>You can also create favorites by establishing a login ID online, and
>managing favorite stations ("presets") there -- and these presets will
>be available to you on all devices where you use a Tunein app - such
>as an android tablet / smartphone, iPhone, iPod Touch, etc.
>
>And, hey, if you find something interesting this way that you think
>others would enjoy, post it here!
>
>There is no perfect solution to serendipity when it comes to Internet
>radio, because the Internet is open-ended; it isn't define by a finite
>number of frequencies. However, aggregators like Tunein and
>(hopefully) enthusiast portals / lists (like this one) can help.
