I'm not an expert on streaming radio but I do read the forums a lot.

I remember reading that MLB audio is highly protected and won't play on
a Squeezebox.

The Squeezebox is a server/Internet client, so to access a stream it
must first be on the Internet.  Most radio stations do have streams
now, but not all.

Slim Devices has organized some streams by city/region but it's not
definitive.  Look here: http://www.radio-locator.com/ for a list of all
licensed stations in an area.  Often there will be a link to their
website or you can search for it.

Streams from around the world work well for me from London, Ontario. 
Keep in mind these are low-bandwidth streams, 128 kbps or less, so they
fly across the network pretty easily.

No plugin for XM yet.  Forum member GoCubs has made a Sirius plugin. 
Obviously you have to be a Sirius subscriber to use it - the plugin
uses your user name/password to access Sirius' Internet streams.

They've got to be on the Internet.  Actually it's not possible to 
enter a URL directly using the remote.  You can browse lists that Slim
Devices have pre-arranged.  You can also add streams beforehand to your
Favorites or a playlist from the web interface.
