For all those of you who think that the radio is dead this goes out for you.
I got hooked on to internet radio a couple months back while I was working for the "World Social Forum":http://www.wsfindia.org. The best part of internet radio is the choice of music stations you have to chose from. To start a internet radio station is very easy so the number keeps on increasing ever day. The cool part is that more and more radio stations are moving to the "Ogg Vorbis":http://www.vorbis.org format. Which is a really cool open standard, music format thats slowly taking over MP3. "Ogg Vorbis":http://www.vorbis.org is good quality in small packets ;).
Most of the audio players support internet radio. Some of them that I used and liked:
# "XMMS":http://www.xmms.org
# "Mplayer":http://www.mplayerhq.com
# "HelixCode":https://helixcommunity.org/
Some really cool Radio Stations:
# "URN":http://urn1350.net
# "KEXP":http://www.kexp.org
"Last.fm":http://www.last.fm:80 takes it one step further. They create a online community of music lovers, that can later have their own Internet Radio Stations.
