    Can anyone recommend any good-quality audio streams of mostly traditional folk music? I like American, English, Irish, Scottish, Canadian, Australian, or Caribbean folk music - all styles: ballads, work songs, political or labor songs, etc, etc. By "traditional" I mean that it has to have roots - I don't care if it's played with electric guitars and drumsets (e.g., Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention) as long as it's based on a traditional song.

    I listen to Folk Alley a lot but 95% of their music is modern singer-songwriter music, not roots music. WUMB has traditional music but their folk stream is only 32 kbs, so the audio quality is poor.

    Thanks in advance.

    PS - Can anyone recommend any other folk-music discussion forums on the web where I could ask a question like this? I searched Google but all the folk discussion forums I saw were very low-traffic.
