@Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net - Anything that promotes 📻️ human curated musical content over algorithm driven subscription services is appreciated. 👍️
In regard to initial impressions and feedback: ⤵
1️⃣ It would be great if you provided links to the stations websites to allow listener's to learn more about the music/region they are listening to.
2️⃣ While you have some of the classic #InternetRadio stations available (such as France's @fipdirect@mamot.fr) - it doesn't seem possible to listen to many of the sub-stations (such as the new music > https://www.radiofrance.fr/fip/radio-nouveautes - or themed channels - https://www.radiofrance.fr/fip/radio-reggae) these primary stations offer. This would be a great feature to offer for new music discovery.
3️⃣ You don't seem to currently include some of the fantastic listener supported internet radio stations (such as Radio Paradise > https://radioparadise.com/ - or @somafm@sfba.social > https://somafm.com), but for those that you do (such as KEXP > https://www.kexp.org) do you have plans for how 📻️ #VivaldiRadio won't impact the listener contributions that keep these stations alive? (Again, if you linked to the relevant stations in the Vivaldi Radio UI, you could include a support/donate function for listener supported stations.)
Aside from initial items noted, a great service to boost this field - thank you! 🙂

@whitingx@social.vivaldi.net This, Especially point 3. Option to donate to listener supported stations. KEXP is a good example here. And in the same category you should consider adding WYEP ☺ https://wyep.org/ @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net @fipdirect@mamot.fr @somafm@sfba.social
