Internet Radio Player

Long back, when I was in IIIT, I used a small player known as Nitin's online radio player (runs only on Windows) which used to sit in the system tray and play online streaming radio channels. It had a small pop-up to switch between radio channels and was one of my favourite sources for listening to music.

This proved to be a boon because Microsoft offers a valid downgrade from Windows Vista Business / Ultimate Edition to Windows XP Professional.
