internet radio


I am new to computer-based music. I am looking for the best quality in sound from internet radio. For right now I am interested in commercial-free Classical music over the internet. Classical Archives has continuous non-commercial classical music 24/7. They state that their broadcast quality is 128-196 kbps MP3. How does this compare with other stations and are there even better quality sources? The sound is really very good and approaches, but does not equal, CD. I am using Vista on a Toshiba laptop>PS Audio Digital Link III. I am excited at this new way of listening and would appreciate any and all comments and suggestions.

Very good stations on Itunes and Pandora. Also check out Rhapsody; a subscription service but the sound quality is excellent.
I have an AMR CD77 with usb input. The DAC section is exceptional so I have been using free internet radio for some time.

I usually use winamp ( http://www.winamp.com/ )

Here are some good stations and sites that I've found:

minnesota.publicradio.org/radio/services/cms/streams.shtml

www.wksu.org/listen/
(Classical & NPR with Jim Blumes Folk music on Fri & Sat nites)

www.wclv.com/page.php?pageID=64
(venerable Cleveland, Ohio classical station)

www.avro.nl/web/avro_klassiek/luisterkamer/webradio.aspx (Baroque)

Enjoy!
