I've been listening to streaming Internet music on my myth box for 
half a year now.  There's a patch that'll let you do it that I've been 
working on.  The unfortunate part is there is no GUI update to allow 
you to manage the feeds; you need to hack the database directly.  But 
it works!

Perhaps if someone would take the patch and run with trying to add a 
new item under the main music tree (Add a new item at the same level 
as Audio CD, All My Music, etc, that is labeled "Internet Radio" or 
something to that effect).

Basically, you need to add a row to the musicmetadata table like this:

INSERT INTO musicmetadata
		(artist,
		album,
		title,
		filename)
	VALUES
		('Streaming',
		'SomaFM',
		'Groove Salad',
		'shoutcast://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1018');

Enjoy,
