So I grabbed one my stagnant Raspberry Pi's and went about a search on Google to find instructions for an Internet Streaming Radio.
Raspberry Pi Wifi Internet Radion Player
I found this site, and although it has some issues with setup it got me going. Here is my post on what I did using the latest Debian Wheezy for Raspberry Pi and fully updated on Dec. 11, 2013.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get autoremove
My favorite set of commands to get things fully updated.
sudo apt-get install mpd mpc
MPD is the music player deamon. It does the hard work/heavy lifting. MPC is the music player client.
sudo shutdown -r now
After a restart everything just works. Here is a great website with all of the command line tools for using mpc.
MPC - Linux Man Page
My setup is headless and actually sitting in the switch closet connected to an audio cable to the surround sound amp.
sudo apt-get install php5
Below is my php code that I created to control mpc from a webpage. Why ssh into the system when you can keep the website open and control it from there?
<?php
if(isset($_POST['p'])){
exec("mpc toggle");
}
if(isset($_POST['s'])){
exec("mpc stop | mpc clear");
if($_POST['s']==1){
exec("mpc add http://ice8.securenetsystems.net/KHTRFM?type=.mp3");
}else if($_POST['s']==2){
exec("mpc add http://streaming207.radionomy.com:80/TheChristmasStation");
}else if($_POST['s']==3){
exec("mpc add http://audioplayer.wunderground.com:80/UniKyrn/Spokane.mp3");
}
exec("mpc play | mpc volume 90");
}
if(isset($_POST['v']) || isset($_POST['vol'])){
if($_POST['v']!=""){$vol = $_POST['v'];}
if($_POST['vol']!=""){$vol = $_POST['vol'];}
exec("mpc volume ".$vol);
}
?>

I have actually added a bunch of more radio stations, just grabbed the stream address from this website:
