The two ancient stalwarts are still up and running:
Icecast directory: https://dir.xiph.org/
Shoutcast directory: https://directory.shoutcast.com/
Note that these are sites containing links to online radio stations not a statement about the quality of what might be available. Shoutcast has the better website, but is also slightly more oriented towards commercial content. Given that you say you like ads from other countries, maybe that's the one you'd want to try first.
I discovered a lot of interesting new music through BBC Radio 6 Music.
Oh yes, 6 Music is a good one. I notice that Iggy Pop has a Sunday afternoon show at the moment (16:00 UK time), and he’s had several series on there in the past, they just keep asking him back because he's interesting and has good taste in music. And also on Sundays (20:00 UK time) is Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone, which has been running for years - so long in fact that when it started I remember recording it on cassette tape so I could play it on my commute to work.
As with all BBC radio there are no adverts apart from their own promotional stuff, and everything is available for 28 days after broadcast via the BBC Sounds website and app - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/stations
I spend a lot of time listening to BBC Radio 3, which is their classical station, but they also have a jazz show 5 nights a week, and lots of other music apart from classical - ‘world’ music, experimental and new music, all kinds of interesting stuff in the evenings UK time. Serious music radio, done properly.
May I ask how you downloaded your Spotify playlist? I'd love to do that. Or I may go back to apple music as I still have an account there, but would love to move my list over somehow.
I tried out a gazillion of crappy web downloaders, and one of them worked. I'm checking but I have my history turned off can't find it 😭
Just FYI, before that I used a web thibgy that lusts your music from a spotify playlist, copy oasted it in an "excel" sheet and manually got the mp3 files through SoulSeek. Slow but reliable.
Thank you for the info! I’ll try it, too.
