Can you recommend any application that is dedicated to playing internet radio?
I’ve tried Screamer Radio, but it’s buggy. Winamp is in turn too bulky. I’m going to try foobar next..
As much as it sticks in my throat to recommend it, have you tried RealPlayer?
Yes, it can be. It can also be really intrusive.
You have to install it and not customise it and stop it from starting automatically and stop it from upgrading automatically and stop it from automatically assigning all media types to it, but the BBC use it as a default media player because it does what it does really well.
I hate it because I have to stop it from ‘fiddling’ with my system, but I still use it…..that’s why I hate it ~:(
Might not be what you are looking for but have you tried Last.fm or the lounge, which can be found on the PURE web site http://www.thelounge.com/ComeOnIn.aspx. I have also used the Reciva and Live 365 sites to link to internet radio.
Another vote for last.fm here. Excellent site. I’m not sure if there is an NC10 group there yet, but there should be! I’ll look into it.

[/quote1234299562]Try real alternative, it allows real media files (BBC iplayer works fine) to play within browsers (firefox) and mediaplayerclassic without the intrusiveness, there’s also a quicktime alternative both very light as they’re pretty much codec only and work within other media players.
Just adding a link to real alternative
Thank you LaptopAcidXperience 🙂
Depends on what you are doing with your systen but i really like iTunes because of PodCasts, Video Tutorials and of course Radio. (and yeah… to connect to my iPod)
But its not lightweight… 😉
Have you tried Pandora? It is a very lightweight Internet Radio player. It uses the website, but I believe you can open the player in another window. Check it out.

This is what I use. Works pretty well.
