I find it annoying jumping back and forth from Spotify, to Soundcloud, to Bandcamp, to wherever else to find music to match a mood or preference. About 10 years ago I got deeper and deeper into listening to radio via the internet. The nice thing about radio is you can just switch it on or off, or flick to another station if you don't like what's currently playing.
I listen to a large range of genres and styles and artists, but I particularly love ambient music. Thankfully, there are a large number of ambient stations, and this music is great for relaxing at home, as well as reading, writing and coding along to.
Most streaming radio stations you listen to via its website, or you can listen through music streaming playing software. Some stations list their stream URLs so you can plug it into your radio playing software. Others hide the URL, making it accessible only via digging through the DOM after Javascript has kicked in. To find a hidden stream URL, the website RadioBrowser has a user-submitted list of thousands of internet radio stations and their stream URLs.The collected data is public domain.

Rhythmbox is a GUI Linux program that works well for users, and across distros. But I use the pyradio CLI program to stream internet radio. It has vimkey and arrow key control, persistent color themes, easily stores a playlist and launches radio stations instantly when I hit enter. It also has a number of advanced features I don't need, but I've been using the software for about a decade so far, on many different Linux distros, and it's easy to use and starts up instantly fast. Basically, as soon as I think I want to listen to music I hotkey launch pyradio. You can start it up and have it automatically play a random station, or open it and navigate to a station to launch or press R to instantly start playing a a random station. Like I said, it's incredibly fast, as fast as tuning the radio on a car radio. Below I'm listing a number of the stations I have in my pyradio stations.csv list, which is my default list of radio stations. I'm only listing ambient music to make this a manageable listing.
