Oud Internet Radio Station

Hi all,

I don't remember how I stumbled onto this oud online radio station, but it's excellent, streams constant oud music, and gives info on each artist that's being played. Check this out:

Play on!

Too bad, it doesn't seem to work (in Germany?). I get an error message ... problem loading radio, try again ... again and again, no matter, if I use Firefox or IE.

Here are some other addresses that might work in other countries.

That's totally weird ... when I try your links at work, I'm asked to login. When I try them now at home with my Android tablet, I have the same error as yesterday with my Windows-PC.

But guess what ... on Android the german LastFM works :D

PS: 2 minutes enjoying Oud Radion and then ... BAM ... Android's browser crashed ... and after a restart the LastFM player is unable to load ... what a horrible web design ... grrr :(

PPS: This page is weird ... now it plays fine in Firefox.

BTW ... nice station ... so many different styles.

My Friend in France says it always asks him to login or create an account. How strange, that they want 3 euros a month in most countries, but in UK, US and Germany it's supposed to be free.

In Germany you are forced to see commercials after every two or three songs. Before a radio channel starts, you first have to watch a commercial too.

Most Germans are not willing to pay for such services, that's why LastFM goes the route to finance it through advertising.
