[ Thanks to Dmitri Popov for this link. ]

"It's not a big deal, except that the service will remain free in the US, UK, and Germany. For me it's as insulting as Windows-only applications. It's not the end of the world, though: as always, the VLC comes to the rescue.

"This excellent media player provides native support for Internet radio streaming and it comes with a huge selection of radio stations for every taste. To start the radio stream, launch VLC, and choose Playlist -> Additional Sources > Shoutcast radio listings. Choose then Playlist -> Show Playlist, switch to the Shoutcast Radio."
