I usually install Amarok right off the bat, but this time around
(Hardy) I gave Rhythmbox another try - I quickly discovered that the
station browsing is quite limited.  So, I installed streamtuner
(apt-get) and edited the preferences to play streams in rhythmbox.
This is a little funky - the name of the station is lost in rhythmbox,
but at least the interface in streamtuner is pretty snappy.. I'll
probably try to hook streamtuner up to amarok later and see what
happens.
