Internet radio

Anybody know of a good way to listen to radio on the internet? I tried a new portal calledRadiopaq that's got loads of stations but search isn't great.

I want a floating mini-player (not an extra Firefox tab) and tracklisting like Live365, but with the quantity of stations of Radiopaq and without the ads. Is this too much to ask? Any ideas?

Have you tried shoutcast?

This is a great radio station BTW!

Hmm, Shoutcast, mehhhh... Ugly site, no BBC, requires an external media player.

BBC iPlayer's OK but keeps its tracklistings elsewhere. I'm currently trying to get it working on my iPhone so I can listen to 6music.

Why don't you just use iPlayer in your browser and get shoutcast for everything else?

Why do you want to rely on a web browser at all for listening to internet radio?

Surely an external application (like WinAmp or VLC) is going to be less of a resource hog, and with WinAmp you can even use with your laptop's or PC's multimedia keys?

I'm with Matthew on this one, ShoutCast has the best diversity of material.

Or you can just listen to this on repeat all day. NSFW

Interesting, might even try that.

Multimedia keys? You'll be lucky. I have a Mac at home and at work it's an HP that's older than I am - it's not all glamour at CNCNET Towers.

What Mac do you have?

I would suggest WinAmp, it is light weight and has hundreds of Shoutcast and AOL stations.
