    Just thought I'd post this for anyone getting ready for the Christmas 2010 build-up...

    Open iTunes, go to 'Radio', select the 'Holidays Category'

    and you get...Christmas stations that broadcast 24/7 :)

    For the golden oldie Christmas tunes listen to:
    Big R Radio Christmas classics

    For modern covers of Christmas classics listen to:
    Big R Radio Top 40 Christmas Hits


    In total there are 17 Christmas stations streaming :D

    Some of them are hit and miss but I spent hours listening to the classics last night. Nothing like a bit of Bing-Crosby-singing-Christmas-songs to lift the spirits and God knows I needed my spirits lifted last night :)

    Tried out the Christmas radio stations there and have to say I'm not a big fan. I don't recognise a lot of the music on them.

    Listen to all classic GOOD christmas songs!

    CHRISTMAS VINYL: http://50.23.115.122:8339/live.m3u

    They say they actually play records but i dont know how much better quality can be heard listening over a digital stream.... (Maybe a little as the source is better to begin with (Analogue record))


    EDIT:

    I emailed them and commented on it an they emailed me back saying
    95% of what we play is sourced from records.
    The way it works is: I digitize them and then they get put into the station software.
    So technically it's playing .mp3's, sourced from records.


    Once in a blue-moon I do do live shows straight off the vinyl.
    Doesn't happen very often because of time....
    Would be nice IF IT WAS RECORDS!! -- However i do have a player in my room here!!

    I always listen to the Christmas station on Pandora, just annoyed I can't listen to it when I'm in Ireland!
