Here's what I do. First I create a directory called "Radio." Then I go to either Shoutcast or a radio station website (like for stations KBAQ in Phoenix or KXPR in Sacramento) and save the pls file. I then rename the pls file to something that I can recognize such as: kbaq.pls, kxpr.pls, wnyc.pls, russia.pls. So I don't deal with the long URL's. When I want to play I do the following. I click on the sixth and last button on the bottom left hand corner of the XMMS player. That opens a box that lists directories. I then navigate to Radio and all of my pls files are listed. I then select a file to play that station's music. But note that I only navigate to Radio once. That's because the next time I click on the sixth button, the box will automatically take me to the Radio directory. So if I don't like what one station is playing I can quickly switch to another station.
