- KissFM is a popular FM service from Los Angeles Technobase.FM is usually very popular on Shoutcast directory. SomaFM's Groove Salad is a favourite of mine.
- The IMDA publishes their Service Identification for Broadcasters & Aggregators in an attempt to standardise the industry of Internet Radio, in the first instance, and establish a working framework for future media services. The Service Identification describes a way for a broadcaster, or media organisation, to expose their data to a hardware or software solution run by a third party. The data from the media organisation contains details of itself, its brands and its brands' transport methods. Not only is this technical information but also editorial information allowing the solution to correctly categorise and expose brands to the audience, and to allow a solution to evaluate appropriateness of brands to criteria supplied where the solution includes some search functionality or automated browsing features. In order for an organisation to make available this data to others the IMDA recommends the organisation to follow the Service Identification specifications included in this document so that common understanding, ease of repurposing and avoidance of publishing data in different formats for different solutions is achieved. This provides benefits for both the media organisation and the solution provider.
