Description: Adds some Finnish radio stations to your Amarok 2.0. Includes lots of Finnish radio stations, both commercial and community based stations.
Currently included stations are:
- Bassoradio - Classic Radio - Groove FM - Iskelmä Janne - Iskelmä-Rex Pohjois-Karjala - Metro FM - Radio 957 Tampere - Radio Dei Helsinki - Radio Dei Nationwide - Radio Helsinki - Radio Jyväskylä - Radio KLF - Radio Mega Oulu - Radio Mondo - Radio Nova - Radio Rock - Radio Sata Turku - Radio SuomiPOP - Radio Vaasa - Radio Voima Lahti - Striimi.net (A Finnish indie multimedia community) - The Voice - YLE Puhe - YLE Radio Suomi - YLE Ykkönen - YLE Ylen Klassinen - YLE YleX
I will keep on adding new stations. If you know any nice Finnish radio stations missing from the list, please mail to me (jaba at mikrobitti dot fi).
Ironically enough, initially my Amarok 2 refused to play the YLE (the official Finnish broadcasting company) streams, so none of their radio channels got included.
In July 2009 I had time to retry my luck, and this time YLE Radio Suomi, YLE YleX and YLE Ylen Klassinen were the ones that could be played without any problems. There are still many YLE channels left to add, though.Last changelog:
v0.2.0 (Jan 21 2009) - Initial release
v0.2.1 (Jan 22 2009) - A dozen or so local radio stations around the Finland added.
v0.2.2 (Jan 23 2009) - Added Radio Rock and Striimi.net
v0.2.3 (Jul 16 2009) - Added YLE Radio Suomi, YLE YleX and YLE Ylen Klassinen
v0.2.4 (Feb 2 2010) - Added Radio KLF and couple of new servers for Radio Helsinki, they seem to have installed radio1.radiohelsinki.fi and radio2.radiohelsinki.fi.
v0.2.5 (Sep 1 2010) - Added Radio Mondo, YLE Ykkönen and YLE Puhe. Thanks to Joni Syri for notification!
I just tested Yle Areena's audio-streams with Amarok and you can listen them. Trick is to use direct mms urls insted of linking to the asx "playlist" files and it looks like that mms urls aren't static so script has to parse them from asx files.
Linux.fi has more info

Hmm, working uri format for Yle streams (and yeah they seem to be static). mms://195.248.86.134/liveradiosuomi
As long as you put something actually interesting, not some general mass pop streams...
Any suggestions...?
No, not really. By some reason, I don’t really listen radio.
