Please check out Radio Paradise FLAC Streaming Options

Please check out Radio Paradise. They offer free Internet FLAC streaming with 4 different track options. I like the mellow track and sometimes the main mix. It is nonstop music with no ads. The RP announcer comes on sometimes to say this is Radio Paradise.

As per their web site, "Their specialty is taking a diverse assortment of songs — modern and classic rock, world music, electronica, even a bit of classical and jazz — and making them flow together in a way that makes sense harmonically, rhythmically, and lyrically. They are the only DJ-mixed station that lets you skip songs you do not like. We also have alternate mixes — Mellow, Rock, and World/Etc. — if our Main Mix does not suit you". This means they have 4 FLAC streaming music site listening options:

This means Radio paradise has many listening options for a wide variety of devices. Please see their web site for a description of listening options and hardware devices (many are listed). On my Aurender Conductor App, I go to the Internet option and click on the track I want (4 options are listed). I have listed to Radio Paradise on and off AND recently discovered their FLAC Streaming options.

Main Mix.

Mello

Rock

World/ etc.

Radio Paradise has "free smartphone apps for on-the-go listening, including full compatibility with both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Their cache feature allows for hours — or even days — of offline listening. And you can enjoy audio quality that is dramatically better than what you get with satellite radio (both of our apps feature lossless full-fidelity sound)”.

I recommend you check out Radio Paradise. I like it very much.

@hgeifman  - I'm a big fan of Radio Paradise. You'll see me mentioning it here often. Personally, I prefer the main mix, but also sometimes listen to the other streams.

I listen on both my phone and via streaming to/through my 2 Raspberry Pi based music streamers into either of my home audio systems. I stream in FLAC and the sound quality is excellent.

I occasionally send a little support $ to Bill and Rebecca. 'tis the season and I'm overdue, so I'll send them a bit of Christmas cheer.

I do wish they had an alt/indie stream or a new music stream (released within the last year or so). 

I'm grateful for Radio Paradise. It's my favorite internet radio station.

@carlsbad  - Sorry to hear it doesn't display tracks when listening through roon. I stream via Volumio OS running on my Raspberry Pi based music streamer. It displays either via a thumbnail, or I can click on the thumbnail and it displays full screen. Not bad for free software! I am going to upgrade to their Superstar level for additional features. However the free version is perfectly serviceable...

The song being played (with a image of the album) shows up on my Cambridge Audio CXN Ver 1 when I use the iPhone to connect.  I too highly recommend RP and have been listening to them for several years. They have an excellent variety of music.  Its a free service with very good audio quality (sounds better than Spotify at the same bit rate) and I encourage listeners to send them a small donation to keep them up and running.

Pardon me while I mark this thread so I can find it again. Thanks for the link @hgeifman. Don't do a lot of streaming yet but who knows what the future holds.

It displays tracks 100% non (silly) Roon. 
The sound quality is excellent. I just don't care for the programming.
Interactive mode helps.

Roon just released an update and it shows what's playing, at least on my Android tablet. RP is fantastic!

Just found out about this Paradise radio!

- streaming radio at 967kb/s VBR Flac? Wow! 

-no commercials? double Wow!

- I can skip songs too? sweet! 

only listened to a dozen songs so far on Rock mix station; hopefully the choice is to my liking going forward. Sure beats listening to 128kb/s stations.
