Is there any good native linux app for streaming online radio? I
prefer shoutcast.
Thanks

I have no idea what shoutcast is (and I'm too lazy to google), but I
can't think of any reasonable music player with mp3 support[1] that
can't play internet streams. I have played around to various degrees
with:

mpd (music player daemon - using it right now with Radio Guerrilla - La
Unica Radio Con Cojones http://live.eliberadio.ro:8000 or 8002)
moc (music on console, executable 'mocp')
xmms (winamp clone, deprecated)
xmms2
audacious (sadly the only xmms/winamp clone left that I know of)
bmpx
mplayer
vlc
mpg123
mpg321
...

[1] that should exclude exclude things like 'cat' ;)

Regards,
Andrei

Do you want a native GNU/Linux application, or an online streaming site?
Shoutcast isn't an installable application. Shoutcast is an online radio
streaming service.

If you want a good online radio, I recommend last.fm or blip.fm. If you
want a good installable application from the Debian repositories, then I
suggest the lastfm application, Banshee, Exaile or Amarok.

So, maybe you should clarify what you want?

vlc is good for both listening to streams and sending streams.

Listening is incredibly easy, the following command will do it

vlc -I dummy "$url"

where $url = the url of the stream. Note the -I dummy part just the
GUI from loading, ie it is ideal if you are running off a command
line. You can safely omit that part and will get the vlc GUI
displayed as well (assuming you have X running).

sending streams is a little more complicated because you should
define things like output port and codec type - for more info I
would start with the docs on the vlc website, in particular

http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/
