Full list of CBC Music direct URLs

Posted by on . 27 comments.

CBC just launched a new music service, imaginatively titled CBC Music. It

offers access to 40 web radio stations, a vast array of music and blog posts by CBC personalities through a website and via mobile apps.

Rather than listen to these stations via a website or mobile app, I’d prefer to listen via VLC. However, there doesn’t seem to be a list of publicly-available stream URLs.

So I made one.

You’re welcome.

    Last year I was a beta-tester (or maybe an alpha tester?) for this new service; I must say that the version I see now compared the version I saw back then is significantly improved.

    Wow! Thanks for this. I'm entering some of them into my Roku Soundbridge as Presets so I can play this thru my big stereo speakers.

    Hmm. The older CBC Radio 2 and 3 streams are still active (e.g. Canadian Songwriters, Hip Hop), but on brief inspection, they seem to be delivering different content than the corresponding new streams.

    Does anyone know the MIME type of these streams? My Internet radio can only handle aac, wma amd mp3 streams. I have to specify the correct MIME type for the radio.

    Thanks so much for these. The Ambient stream link seems to be wrong. Won't play in iTunes or though a Squeezebox. Any ideas?

    Are there MP3, WMA or RA formats for these CBC music streams? I need one of these formats to connect my internet radio.

    Hey thanks Dan, any chance of getting the URL for the Radio 3 service? It's been a number of weeks since we've been able to listen…very sad.

    Dan, thanks for this. I've just loaded each one into my SqueezeBox Favorites. Sadly, at the moment, the SqueezeBox server (properly Logitech Media Server) isn't accepting OPML lists — a kind soul on the SqueezeBox forums posted such a list. Seems to be a glitch in the current version of LMS. Had to manually load each URL. A great resource, thanks.

    Bless you, Mr. Misener! Just what I was looking for. I'm doing a trial of Radium right now and the URLs import very nicely. I'll have to try these with VLC as well!

    Got the streams working in my Squeezebox setup, but I've just gone back to check out the Concerts On Demand, and those have all changed — can't figure out how to get URL's that work in the SB context, as the addresses for the streams work. Any suggestions?

    Thanks Don. I actually found these on the music.cbc.ca website on a page that had tabs for the direct URLs, but could NOT find them a second time. Your list is excellent. Did you find them on the CBC site or did you play each one on iTunes or another player and investigate the URLs?

    Weirdly, the Chamber Music one uses the same URL as the (apparently now defunct) Glenn Gould Sampler:

    http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/CBC_GGSAMP_H.pls

    I’ll update the list to reflect this.
