I have begun to listen to internet radio while I work. I mainly listen to news or to music to discover new artists. I am wondering if anyone else listens to internet radio and what client you use. I can't get Pandora or Spotify in Canada. The Canadian government is obsessed with protecting Canadian content so many of the large services will not work, BBC, US networks, AOL etc. Many networks want you to use their clients so they hide the urls. I have tried proxies, but that does not seem to fool Pandora, etc.
I am currently using Radio Tray which I like and which has some advantages and disadvantages. I have not had much luck with Rhythmbox or Amarok. VLC works great, but it does not allow me to save playlists. I have Live365 working via Wine using their client or in Chromium, but FF does not work for some reason (maybe it needs a different Flash). I can't seem to get the urls to add to Radio Tray. Shoutcast streams work fine from Radio Tray or VLC. Generally if they work in VLC you can add them to your list in Radio Tray. I also like Clementine which is fork of Amarok. It includes lots of Icecast and SomaFM stations plus you can add your own. If you have any insights to share then I would be interested in learning how to get more stations. I would particularly like to learn how to ferret urls that are hidden from the user.
