I made a website to help me listen to college radio while I work, and it turns out its a nice companion to my new Chumby. Its basically a database of college and community and some internet-only stations that I've found and liked. All are high bitrate.

Here's one project I made from it, plotting each station on a google map. The locations are the actual locations of the radio towers as listed in the FCC database:

Anyway, it's helped me listen to shoutcasts on my Chumby. For example I can type this in and it serves up a PLS file for WFMU:

http://radiogizmo.org/wfmu

That works for any station in the database. You can see all the stations here, or on that map above:

http://radiogizmo.org

This is supposed to load a random station, but it looks like the Chumby caches the PLS file and is loading the same station every time:

http://radiogizmo.org/random

So from the Chumby, go to My Streams then add a station, select PLS file and type the addy like that.

Eventually I'd like to make a Chumby widget, but for now that's a step easier than entering full URLs of the shoutcast streams. And plus these station's streams change all the time, and with this method it changes in the radiogizmo.org database and thus your Chumby.

And if anyone wants to make a widget, by all means feel free to use this DB. You can see notes on using the DB at the bottom of that map page or here:

My email's there, let me know if you need anything from me.
