Joseph:
Take a look at Streamtuner -- it indexes Shoutcase, Google Stations, punkcast, 
basic.ch, Live365 and Xiph, as well as whatever music you have stored locally 
(although I should point out that I mostly use Xiph). You should understand, 
though, that its "currently playing" feature defines "currently" as the last 
time that you refreshed the listing, so if you're dying to hear that old 
classic "I've got tears in my ears lying on back while crying my heart out 
over you", it won't be much help unless you are very, very lucky. It also 
provides _some_ information about the quality and content (.ogg, aacp, mpeg, 
etc) of the stream. Sadly, the developer announced late last year that the 
project is no longer active.

Streamtuner is easily configured to use most audio players -- a simple edit of 
the Preferences tab and you're good to go. FWIW, my preference is Audacious. 
It plays nicely with other apps, doesn't take up much desktop space, and is 
under active development. When I've tried streaming with either Amarok or 
Totem, I've notice occasional brief timeouts whereas Audacious has been 
pretty solid.

Both are in the Fedora repos.
