There is a 24 Kbps stream also available for slow connections. The sound is mono but decent for listening. 24 Kbps also cuts down on the downloaded data for connections having data download limits.

No Indian channels except some NRI songs occasionally on World Music. For Indian songs there is Radio MIO www.musicindiaonline.com. It requires Real Player installed. From the left hand column select the genre and then click on Music Listing and go ahead.
Why OT? It is about a radio website that works in Linux and how to play the file in Linux. Others are giving new links to radio sites that work in Linux so that's even better.
