Radio in linux

Being in linux, its a obvious thing to use command line for EVERYTHING. For example, listening songs. "Usual" folks just go on some site, either download or keep browser open if the site is providing media player itself. But in linux, its just a command (which can be run in background). I use following commands for listening radio :

mplayer -playlist http://asx.abacast.com/arabian_radio-city-64.asx -loop 0
mplayer - playlist http://www.1.fm/TuneIn/WM/energybbfm128k/Listen.aspx -loop 0
mplayer mmsh://citadelcc-wplj-fm.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_WPLJ_FM?MSWMExt=.asf


"-loop 0" because dont let a single corrupt packet stop your radio.

You can always find a radio station of your choice. One radio station which I would really like to promote is http://wnyu.org/.
