I never knew you could do this until recently Connect with your BBA and open a custom m3u file, You can either rebuild a CDI with the m3u playlist or just load it from Serial SD.
Music links are non-SSL mp3 streams
We can all contribute links and build a mighty playlist.
https://fmstream.org/ Look here for mp3 streams, the links work in this format

From your experience, what is the best format/quality you've tested for stability/nice playback experience?

I'd love to setup a custom mount for RadioSEGA with the appropriate quality settings to get a smooth playback experience on DC.

Soma FM hosts non-SSL mp3 icecast streams, links look like this and will be edited in the m3u file, edit it in notepad and you will see the formatting.
