streamtuner2

[shoutcast list is empty]

streamtuner2-2.0.5.deb

Download & doubleclick to install :-)
You'll then find it in Applications|Sound...|streamtuner2

Shoutcast works, Xiph.org works, MyOggRadio Works, Jamendo works,
punkcast works, but Live365, InternetRadio, comes up as 'no contents
found on directory server'. Google lists stations but doesn't play
(probably need to configure an alternate player that Audacious?), and
basic.ch sits at 'loading http://basic.ch/playlist.xml' probably a
config issue as well.
