while we are telling these stories, I have a seasonal cabin in an area
in Northern NY, where there are maybe 20-30 people on a long dirt road.
For the longest time all we had was DSL on old, crappy, undocumented
phone lines, that nobody understands, buried in the dirt, sometimes
sticking out. In the spring, when a family would come in to open their
camp, the phone/dsl truck would come to hook them up and mess with the
wiring in what we call "tombstones" by the road. As a result someone
else would go down. Often it was me. It got pretty funny loosing
internet and quickly jumping in our trucks to go down the road to find
the service truck to tell him what he caused (and block him from
leaving). It got to the point where we all got anxious when we saw their
trucks going down the road. I would turn on a sb radio so I could hear
if I went down!

It got to where if the internet went down, my wife would say "well, the
cummings must be here!"

A year ago we got new fiber (part of an initiative to get "high speed"
in rural underserved areas). But even seeing their trucks get us a bit
anxious. We have not healed.

Isn't that what Mobile (Cell) phones and neighbours are for?

In the 13 years I have occupied this flat I have lost the steam phone
line three times and the internet never! The problem was the BT wireman
messing with the connections in the street cabinet. My Father-in-Law
kept his internet in a neighbouring flat while losing his telephone, but
for a different reason. Someone at the exchange had turned him off.

you guys don't have cell phones? :).

How about using a cell phone in a location of no cell coverage to report
that your power is down. Then you realize your phone was working because
it was using wifi calling, which is down with the power. Of course, this
is a new realization to you every time it occurs!  :eek::o

It does for me now after some messing. My British Telecom contract
rolled over yesterday, and that seems to have upset a few things. I have
just had to reboot PiCorePlayer and the Chromecast Audio.

For the Brits in this forum I haggled hard with BT  - my block of flats
now has a fibre installation from Toob to every door which yields
900Mb/s down and up for £25. My FTTC Fibre 1 with BT gives 60Mb/s and 20
upload - plenty fast enough for me, but BT had to beat £25  - I got it
for £22 and kept the phone number which I don't need. (Vonage offered
with Toob at extra cost.) The BT phone is now "Digital Voice" which is
what BT calls their new VOIP service. Transition was seamless  - I just
had to pull the telephone plug out of the wall and stuff it in the back
of the Router. They seem to be doing this well, but are getting grief
for turning off the steam powered telephone service. For years I have
used VOIP with a Siemens Gigaset hybrid DECT/VOIP phones and Sipgate
accounts.

Well that was off track! But yes
http://rondo.iradio.fi:8000/klasupro.flac now works and sounds good. If
I click the URL in Chrome on my Chromebook the station plays on the
default ChromeOS audio player. LMS is more convenient, as always!

As Ronnie and @ktp pointed out, we don't know if the OP is running LMS
or looking at mysb.com. If it's the latter, we should persuade him to
LMS :)

Paul's Radio Now Playing has all three Naim stations, but here are the
urls for the other two: https://www.hiresaudio.online/naim-radio/ There
appear to be both http and https streams.

Note that I have found a few urls on this site broken from time to
time.

As stated above Radio Paradise and Paul's Radio Now Playing Plugins are
great places to start.

Also, this site seems to be updated from time to time. Some redundancy
