Thats right folks! Why download music and clutter up your HDD's when you can just stream in the music?! If like me, you never know what you want to listen to then streaming is for you!

Best media player for this im my opinion is Winamp. So go to :

www.winamp.com

Download and install.

Once youve installed it, follow these steps to finding the radio station you want to stream in.

Run Winamp > Go to Media Library > Go Down the List on the left hand side to "Shoutcast Radio" > Wait for it to collect the information on available streams. > Search by Genre > Select the Radio Station of choice > Either Enqueue or just Play.

My personal Fav :
Search for sickonion :: Its a jPop / jRock radio station.

Hope this entertains some of you.

I personally don't stream because I like to have control over what is played. I tend to hit skip a lot, depending on my mood.

I didn't even know that still existed :O

Uncapped download speeds FTW! (which is stupid for me IMO since i live in Australia, and im lucky to get a speed over 300kbps from a US server, and therefore would rather a much reliable and cheaper ADSL2 with a higher download limit)
