Are there any lossless uncompressed internet radio stations that squeezebox will pick up?

besides my own collection on my computer, how can i get true audiophile content using a squeezebox?

I don't think such a thing exists....

i take it then audiophiles would only use a squeezebox to listen to their own lossless collection.

I am am audiophile and my collection is lossless but I certainly do listen to lossy streams when I am working around the house. If there were lossless streams then I would listen to those but thats not going to keep me from exploring new forms of music.

I doubt that "audiophiles" would stoop to using a lowly Squeezebox, it doesn't cost enough. I find the quality of internet streams quite acceptable for casual listening or background music which is all I have time for lately.

The trade-off in SQ is worth the "all-the-music-in-the-world-at-your-fingertips" benefit of services like Rhapsody. Besides, if you're an "audiophile", surely you would run your SB through an external DAC, and it can help with those lossy files a bit. :p
