Music streams

Certain Internet radio stations can be streamed into a land parcel in Second Life. This page was created in response to the often asked question "What are some music urls?" The initial list was compiled by Lindal Kidd and is updated whenever by whoever as there's no officiant for it. Streaming codecs are currently MP3 as AAC and OGG are not currently supported. Sadly, the makers of FMOD, the network player library used by the Viewer, have stated that they have no intention of implementing AAC. At the time of this writing, media on a prim (MOAP) is not a reliable enough way of displaying media and such, sites listed work best with Parcel Media or Parcel Audio.
