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.
Also, http://schizoid.in/ and http://radioverve.com/ is 'working' with Linux (Specially, check faq at schizoid.in) without any issues. Check it out!
Make sure that you have fat bandwidth too.

I have been using Amarok to play Internet Radio via www.last.fm Works pretty well..but i think it only plays English songs.

Hi,
I am a lurker in the lug for about last three years. I am surprised sometime by the naive comments circulated. This is just my observation, no offense meant to anyone.
A simple Google search got me 11,500,000 hits for "internet radio station" and 239,000 hits for "internet radio station playing Indian music". Though I understand that not all links are unique, and not many would deal with actual free sites, but hopefully quite a few links can lead to useful sites.
Thanks and regards.

So what? What is wrong in exchanging links? Anyway many radio/streaming media sites are created only for IE and are useless to Linux users. I had done this google search a year ago and did not find anything usefull within the first few links. I did not bother to search all records.

With the inclusion of ShoutCast support in Amarok last year, you get thousands of streams, categorised under genres. :-) So, whatever you need, you have more or less a lot of stuff in there. And then when ever you find some other stream, u can add it up in Amarok.
But yes, I'm stick stuck to last.fm, cuz I can have my own custom streams. :-) Try it out you may like it as well.

I will try it out. Amarok definitely rocks. At present though, I have xfmedia in Xfce that plays all audio/video formats but it could not play the playlist .pls file. So I browsed through some packages in synaptic and installed audacious. It has the look and feel of winamp and could directly play the pls file. It has an option to double the interface size and that makes it easier to read.
