Hindi / Punjabi Online Radio Stations

Few weeks back I posted about Radio Teentaal (which was the only meaningful / high quality radio station I could find that time) After a little more time, I have figured out many other stations which play equally melodious songs with high quality and dont serve stupid ads.

The list can be endless if I include radio stations with bit-rate lower then 64. Here is my list of selected few which will save you a lot of search and help you tune into Hindi music anytime :-)

1. [Indian Pakistani Desi] DeSi-RaDiO [Hindi Urdu Punjabi] - www.DeSi-RaDiO.com
2. [Bollywood Indian Hindi] RaDioNIMBOODA.com::Bollywood Live From Paris::You can request your personal fav hindi songs
3. [Hindi Desi] DesiMusic247.com
4. [Hindi] Bollywood Oldies

Online Indian Music - Radio Teentaal

I recently discovered Radio Teentaal, a web-radio dedicated to "100% Indian music". The cool thing is - it works perfectly in Linux :-)

Currently the radio is being streamed from Paris, certainly no surprise that it is being streamed from some western country, since such kind of bandwidth is still not really affordable/available in India. It was surprising that I could not find anything interesting / similar from UK, US, Canada or another English-speaking country with large NRI community.

Anyway, they play the latest popular Bollywood beats, no commercials, no interruptions, not even the self-advertisement jingles. Just pure music, at 128kBps stereo mp3. They also have a 64kBps version if you cant enjoy the high bandwidth.
