This is awesome. Also what I was looking for. Now I need to figure out how to send these streams over SSH to the client cpu and I'll be set.

Thanks for compiling these! But it looks at least the current has moved its stream:

$ curl --head http://minnesota.publicradio.org/tools/play/streams/the_current.pls
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: Apache
Location: http://common.publicradio.org/streams/current.mp3.m3u

M3U version: https://gist.github.com/elFua/b85830b1ce58b75e7b39050b4c5dd4f3
works with VLC or VOX (osx)
should work with any player with M3U support

thank you! Exactly what I was looking for. Using Potplayer on Windows to listen to these streams

I got url-s from the HTML source one of this Countries:
http://www.listenlive.eu/

it is easy to plyay all and step with a "Q" forward between the streamed-stations:

for i in $(cat sorucefilewithurls.txt); do mplayer $i; done

After I cleanded all nont neccesary data from the source html-file i found out, that not all of these urls are still active.
They went to 404 Error.
From a reason I changed the end of files with mp3. # it was a better result with omxplayer and mplayer on raspberry pi 3b
Here is a part from the cleaned file

# you just run a for loop for each lines in the selected file
# mplayer -nosound will not execute, but gives information, whitch you can redirect in a file filtered with grep
# grep -A1 the row After the "whanted string"
for i in $(cat sorucefilewithurls.txt); do mplayer -nosound $i 2>&1 | grep 404 -A1 | tail -2 >> error404-radios.txt
