That's what I'm using. Such a small program, yet has great sound and
lots and lots of stations to choose from. Also found that doing a
little copy and pasting, you can enter almost any station from
"LIVE365.com" and enjoy their stations without having to use 365's
player and have to put up with all their pop ups and nag ads.
Highly recommend it.

This program requires RealOne Player to be installed.

How do you get around all the spyware RealOne brings with it ?

Or am I behind the times and RealOne is now well-behaved ?

I use realplayer 8 basic for viewing news etc , and viddiplayer
works,with that version fine.There are preferences in realplayer
(including realone bloatware) to not send any info.Also you can block
with a firewall if you wish.You are not behind the times with realone ,
its a huge pice of bloatware that slows older systems down no end , a
reason that im still using version 8

You already have a fine audio player (Winamp), which has a list of
Internet radio stations. In addition, if you install the mp3PRO
plugin (available for free at http://www.mp3prozone.com/ ) you'll be
able to tune into the growing number of mp3PRO Internet radio
stations. mp3PRO has better sound than MP3 at lower bitrates.

Live365 is without a doubt the best directory of Internet radio
stations out there. Forget about all those commercial Internet radio
stations that imitate the Clear Channel and Infinity Radio broadcasts
we're all so overwhelmingly familiar with--Live365 offers a huge and
diverse selection of webcasts for all tastes--and mp3PRO webcasts,
too.

Apple's iTunes is usually referred to as an audio player or a music
store these days, but iTunes has always had a very good tuner. Kurt
Hanson (of the Radio and Internet Newsletter) posted an informative
review of iTunes of his website last Friday:
