Has anyone installed an internet radio client on Linux? I am trying to install a couple of them like gst123 and istreamer, but no breakthrough yet.

Rhythmbox has internet radio functionality and is installed by default if you pick the default (GNOME) version of Ubuntu.

What?
Opena terminal and type the following commands:
To get mplayer, the famous media player: sudo apt-get install mplayer
To get a graphical interface for mplayer:
sudo apt-get install smplayer
For restricted stuff support in every player (like mp3. Since you can't play it default):
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
Also, check Medibuntu for codecs, other restricted stuff if your media still won't play.)
(Hope this is what you meant. Next time please clarify your question and use a "cleaner language", don't be so 1337.)

mplayer is good, but as internet-radio player the features lack... – Oliver Friedrich – 2010-05-18T16:57:18.200
What do you mean? It can handle playlists, multiple features. – Apache – 2010-05-18T17:22:53.083

I'd recommend you to look for a specialized ubuntu-forum, since there you are helped more on topic than here can ever be (so I think its nice to see more and more ubuntu-questions here...)
As others stated, try out Rhythmbox first, it has good support for internet-radio, can save multiple radio stations and can get more out of iradio with plugins.
I for myself would hint you on banshee as alternative, which is spoken to be the successor of rhythmbox sometime, or quod-libet which is also a fine musik-player.

good answer, first try out the already installed tools, then look for other if they do not fit... – Oliver Friedrich – 2010-05-18T16:56:32.990
