Go this route instead...

Open Windows Media Player and click the WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER RADIO TUNER
window.

Alternatively, click the MEDIA GUIDE button on the toolbar.
In the drop-down menu, click MEDIA GUIDE, then click on RADIO in the
toolbar of the window that appears.

If you see no MEDIA GUIDE button on the toolbar, run the mouse pointer
over the area to the right of the SYNC button until the pointer turns
into a hand, indicating a link. Double-click, and the MEDIA GUIDE
choice should show up.

Thx Dev,
I've been doing this(media player) but still would like to know how to
access from media center!

It is possible that Media Center is prompting for a paid account - to
which you subscribe. Perhaps someone else will chime in to enlighten us.

However, Media Center will provide a path to Live365, AOL radio, and
others via the ONLINE MEDIA link. Some will cost you money.

Media center is not prompting for anything. It is a great looking interface
and i would like to use it as default media player etc. Someone out there
must know how

Go to Media Center > Tasks > Settings > Automatic Download Options > and
put a check next to "Retrieve CD album art, ...etc.", and then choose one of
the download methods after that. Then click on "Download Now" (you must be
connected to the internet). Radio options should now show up in Media
Center > Online Media, such as free AOL Radio (which requires a
plug-in) and other options, some which are not free, such as XM Radio.
