Is there an open directory of radio stream URIs? Like if I wanted to build my own tiny radio streaming client, where would I look for the streams? I tried snooping the network tab in dev tools on Radio Garden, but couldn't see many requests that weren't either grabbing map tiles, or connecting to Radio Garden itself.

Great site! But as I clicked on music radio stations across the US, they were almost all broadcasting commercials at the time. Which is one of the fundamental problems with the format.
I would listen to broadcast radio if DJ's were hired for their muscial knowledge, and ability to put a playlist together. But I don't think they even use local people on these stations anymore. It's just the same tired old songs with a commercial break every 6 minutes.
Overall I like it, great interface. I would like to be able to explore the map without changing the station I'm actively listening to.
But, oh my god, why are mainstream radios stuck with the same 10 songs since what seems like forever ? First pickup: suzanne vega, second pickup: francoise hardy.
There is also an app called "radiodroid" (or maybe it is "radiodroid2"; on the https://f-droid.org app store that says it builds all the apps from free/open source) which I have very much enjoyed for this. Unlike the other 1-2 internet radio apps I tried, this one made it easy to browse thousands of stations, search by tag (I guess everything is in there), language, country, etc etc, set bookmarks, list listening his…
Radiodroid 2 is also available in the Play store. Thank you for that. Finally time to say goodbye to TuneIn.
