Hi--
In the next few days i will be going through the list provided by BTF and all the rest of you (thank you for your contributions, please keep them coming!!) and making sure they are still active.
Also, since many of us now don't use IE (I notice a lot of firefox icons here--yeah!!) I need to check the compatibility of these pages and if they don't want to work with Netscape, Firefox, etc, I will do my best to find links for the necessary plug-ins.
In going through the list at the top, I also noticed that many of the sites now wish for listeners to sign in and become mebers; some also do charge now. Adware, I will also be checking that as well. I tried the Spinner link, downloaded the Netscape page they gave me, and I now have AOL in my computer.
So, any good stations anyone knows of that you would like to see the links for, please post them.
Thanks.

Thanks to all of you for your patience while I got around to checking the list of links provided by BTF & added to by those of you that posted additional links.
I deleted the ones that now just give a 404 and those that were full of adware.

If any of you run across any more, please feel free to post them, I will add them.

:sun: Thanks again to all of you for your patience & contributions, and to BTF for providing this list to begin with..
