You don't have to (atleast for shoutcast.com).
Sites which use standalone players (like http://www.shoutcast.com/) work great on Linux.
Can I somehow play music from the above mentioned sites on Linux?
1. Go to shoutcast.com (http://yp.shoutcast.com/), right click on the "Tune in" button next to your favourite station, select "Copy link location..." (in firefox)
2. Open realplayer, select "manage favourites", new->paste the url & give it a name.
3. Choose your entry from the favourites & enjoy the music.
Sadly the last part barely & intermittently works over the <5 kbps MTNL dialup connection :( Realplayer says too much "congestion"!
Hope you have better results.
