I think you'll like it. I know I do.
I had some other lists, but they were not as good as this one.
The icons in front of the (Kbps) speed indicate what kind of 'streams'
they are and the bottom of the page explains what the icons means and
which software can play which streams.
I liked it so much that I bought an Internet radio tuner [1] which I
can connect to my audio installation. So while I'm typing this, I'm
listening to the Port Hedland FM 87.6 country station [2]. I don't know
if it makes me happy or sad [3]! :-)
Enjoy.

[3] It's quite fun to hear the 'local' advertisements, especially the
one for the Carnarvon Caravan Park where we stayed. Yes - for Aussie
standards - Carnarvon is 'close' to Port Hedland. I *love* it.
