Roon 1.5 includes support for FLAC Internet Radio. Here are a few that are working for me. Please add others to this thread as you come across them. If you flag me (@andybob) when you find one, I’ll add it in to this list. There is [another thread](https://community.roonlabs.com/t/internet-radio-url-swap-meet/8666) to exchange URLs for Internet Radio generally. This one is for FLAC stations in particular.

Looks like JB-Radio 2 is streaming 16/96k Hi-Res lossless Internet streaming, sounds great! Hope more and more stations will jump offering Hi-Res internet streaming. This is a good start! ![image](https://roon-community-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/original/3X/0/c/0ca882562650771ab3bb40968e7b3cfe9079c02a.jpg) ---

I am _loving_ JB-Radio 2. It sounds fantastic, and the mix of fairly deep album cuts from many different eras is my cup of tea. Yesterday it was streaming in 16/96, then briefly stopped working, then came back as 16/192! My guess though is that the site owners are upsampling their content (from 16/44?) before sending it out. No way they have that deep of a library of true hi-res material. I’m a fan. ---

The should have some hi-res contents to stream otherwise up-sampling is a wasteful to bandwidth. ---

There’s no info on the JB-Radio 2 website about their FLAC capability and they’re not just a FLAC station, so I suspect you are correct about the upsampling. I think all of these stations will have seen a significant uptick in FLAC audience as a result of Roon 1.5. I’d suggest we let them know who we are. Send them an email saying what you like and what you don’t; some of these stations FLAC capabilities are “trial transmissions” so feedback could be quite helpful. It’s been very interesting finding these and comparing them. Sector Radio feels like an oligarch’s son’s plaything. 440 Hz seems to be distributed from various German teenage bedrooms. The Cheese has an FM transmitter that covers the whole valley ! Each of them is ultimately someone’s passion, because there’s zero commercial basis for FLAC radio. ---

No, it’s not just you. I too am really enjoying their programming, but I wish they’d show track information. As it is, when I hear something that I like, I have to rely on Shazam. Not ideal. ---

Great stuff - thanks for adding this thread and links to the various Flac stations - even one “cheesy” one from New Zealand!! Have been waiting to add this functionality for FLAC stations. I do agree with you, in that, most of these stations the content is upsampled - nonetheless its great to have this optionality! ---

A google search for jazz Flac brought up an article from October of last year indicating that Europajazz would be broadcasting in Flac. I couldn’t find a Flac stream on their website. Anyone using their stream in Flac? ---
