The RPi does have a external USB soundcard on it (cost less than €10) as its internal one isn't very strong and the audio is not as good. I used the mpd (media player daemon) software. You have to manually create the playlist files using a command line editor as root and chown them to mpd or there are problems with permissions errors but once that is done ncmpc will allow you to select which stream you play back.
There are of course prettier HTML5 clients for mpd; but I couldn't get them to work and the very fact this whole lot looks like some relic from the early 1980s actually appeals to me
PS: use npmpc -c to get the colour display
This could be a good monitoring setup for many of you online broadcasters; as the RPI can be controlled from anywhere on the network and does not need to be physically near the terminal controlling it.
