Sometime, in the middle of the night, I like to listen to music while working on the computer, hacking codes or plain writing blogs on my Linux desktop.

Because of my Linux desktop default installation ‘discourage’ me from listening to MP3 streams, so I’ve to find alternative Internet radio that uses the free OGG Vorbis streams.

So far I found that Xiph Streams directory is the best internet radio directory that can be found on the internet. It feature collection stations dedicated for certain genre of songs, such as blues, hard rock, dance, alternative rock, jazz and few others.

The streams is playable on Totem Player, XMMS, Rhythmbox, and almost all music player available for the GNU Linux operating systems.

FYI, I’m currently listening to a radio station which plays oldies songs. :)
