pcmcia fixed itself today.

http://sradio.tv lists hundreds or thousands of internet radio stations 
around the world.  Those in E. Europe and China, for instance, are mostly 
dialup speed.


They are sorted by country and by theme.  18 dialup-speed classical 
stations most of which don't work with my setup for unknown reasons.12^

I can play some of the .asx links using lynx (set up lynx.cfg to use 
mplayer - I posted my lynx.cfg) and also opera (mplayer not the plugin 
which needs a later mplayer - to turn off the player type
kill `pidof mplayer` in an rxvt).
12^
I can also play the links directly with mplayer 
http://sradio.tv/asx/1001.asx (an example - possibly the world's only 
all-Chinese-opera internet radio station)

These work:
RTHK Hong Kong Radio 4 (1-5 all work)
Prague's Classic http://sradio.tv/asx/654.asx (32K)

Guatemala 'classical' appears to be nothing but (nonclassical) 
commercials, in very clearly spoken Spanish.
Denmark is rock (classic rock?).

Most just say 'connecting to server' (busy?) or some message flashes by 
and mplayer exits.


Ethnic :
Turkey - 290.asx
Thalassa Greece  - 23410
Columbia - 24463
US - 24284 (country - noisy)
Nova Antena Portugal - 12373 (commercials)
Russia Kazan   - 23474 (pop in local language)
Argentina Buenos Aires - 24392 (a radio play?)
Russia Cheboksary (pop in local language)

Oslo - 972 (this is recent classical not folk;  971 also classical; 973
appears to be folk Norwegian, 976 and 977 also work - rock?)

You will probably do better just checking out the individual stations for 
any country.  I got Serbian 'folk' from a regular station (shoutcast).
They list only 4 Macedonian stations and I know there are more.

The site is Russian and is much more up to date than 
http://classicalwebcast.com especially regarding bandwidth.
