I use cmus in the terminal for listening to all music, including internet radio streams.

In the past, I’ve also used mplayer and cvlc (command line version of vlc). The desktop version of vlc also works. juq, Amarok…. Thinking about it, pretty much any media player on Linux can play Internet radio streams.

But there’s no inbuilt list of internet radio stations on most media players. So I always go to the radio stations website, where they have their online player and dig through the source code with Firefox’s web developer tools, until I find the URL for their actual live stream, which I would add to a text file containing a list of radio URLs in the following format:

# Station name
https://url.to.live-stream.rtmp

Then I used a script (that I wrote), to extract the URL for the radio station I want to listen to the file and pass it to a media player.

But since I started using cmus, whenever I find a new internet radio stream, I just add the URL directly to cmus’s music library and then select a radio station to listen to from my library.

Incidentally, I published some useful scripts, aliases (and other random snippets) that I use in conjunction with cmus and cmus-remote to my git repository at notabug.org:
https://notabug.org/JasKinasis/cmus-scripts

Each directory in the repo has a .md file that explains what each item is and what it’s used for.

Clementine, Rhythmbox and Mixx are some of the suggestions that we can provide you. For more details, you may search on internet as well.

I created a super lightweight antiXradio-ISO for old computers (32bit), with al lot of dutch radio stations. 240MB RAM usage when antiXradio is running! It's on my Sourceforge-site: od4knb Linux.

I hope that this ISO can save a lot of old computers from the dump!

TBH, to a large extent I concur with @Brickwizard . If ya wanna listen to internet radio stations, why not listen to 'em in the best place, designed for the internet.....your browser?

Getting back to the subject, though, I've had a paid a/c with RadioTunes.com for some years (gets rid of a ton of adverts). Now, one of the 'perks' of this is that you can download your 'Favourites' list in the form of a .pls file. You can then use this to listen to your music in any media player that supports the .pls format. It contains the URLs for each station, along with what RadioTunes call your 'listen key' (authorises you as having an a/c with the site, I guess).

For this, I like DeaDBeeF. It's lightweight, supports just about everything - even Opus, for the .flac afficionados! - has an infinitely customizable GUI interface.......and sounds fantastic, with one of the best graphic equalizers I've yet found. I've built this into my Puppy-portable format, and share a single instance between multiple Pups, due to it being statically-compiled.

My days of listening to general radio are kinda back in my youth. RadioTunes offer music in hundreds of different genres, in 'curated' playlists.....which these days, is exactly what I want.

"Music while you work..." Yup. Works for me!

I listen to Youtube Music in a browser, but with a Chromium-based browser I created a PWA for it so that I can use it as desktop application.

@f33dm3bits :-

Yeah; this PWA tag they now have is simply a rename of the old Chrome 'app' system.....along with a re-think in how it's applied.

When I first came across these, 8 or 9 years ago, setting them up was rather more manually done. Now, so many sites offer the option in the URL bar when you first visit the site with Chrome (I think Linux.org does, doesn't it?); you just click on the icon, and everything that you used to have to do manually is now done FOR you, all automatically.

Same functionality......but far easier to apply. Me, I'm ALL for it.

I just use audacious. it is in the repos and installs native. It can play music from the disk or stream a URL from an online radio station. I can also export the playlist or radio station list and import into other installs. Works great and has controls that can give you remote to its functions.
