Hi guys, does anyone know of a good website that can stream music on
Chromium or Firefox, both which don't support Flash? Spotify won't
work. Does Google Play work?

YouTube is always a good candidate, but that's not exactly a streaming
site. A lot of radio stations will have Internet streams, a little
sleuthing will usually help find a source that VLC or mplayer can
decode.

[Shoutcast](http://www.shoutcast.com/) is also still around,
apparently. It works with `mplayer -playlist url`.

Some stations I like:

* [chill](http://www.triplag.com/webradio/chilltrip/triplag-chilltrip-
playlist.ram)

* [classical](http://www.theclassicalstation.org/audio/wcpe.pls)

* [darkpsy](http://www.triplag.com/webradio/darkpsy/triplag-darkpsy-
playlist.ram)

* [electronica, female vocals](http://somafm.com/lush.pls)

Use mplayer, mpv or whatnot.

Google Play has an HTML5 option, but you have to enable it (go to
music.google.com->hamburger menu->settings->scroll down to labs
section->enable HTML5 audio). I seem to remember that it worked for me
on OpenBSD without flash last time I tried it.

Google play works great. Even the web player chrome extension. I also
use pianobar, a CLI Pandora client.

I am pretty sure google play works without Flash, you could also use
pianobar (in ports) to use pandora.
