"A friend of mine showed me this site for internet radio. It works in Linux too. Go to www.sky.fm and check out 'Listen Now' on the top and from the list, select 'MP3 Streams'. A playlist file .pls will be downloaded. Save it and load the playlist in your audio player. Listen to good music without RJ yak yak. I selected the 96Kbps stream. As per the theoritical calculations, one hour of listening takes about 43 MB download."
There is a 24 Kbps stream also available for slow connections. The sound is mono but decent for listening. 24 Kbps also cuts down on the downloaded data for connections having data download limits.
