With all the discussion of Internet Radio, I've seen no discussion of the 
sound quality. Unless it has improved dramatically since the last time I 
tried, the Real Audio type streaming is no where near FM or CD quality.

I would love to listen to the stations mentioned here but the quality is 
just not there for my tastes.

[Alan sez: For dialup users that may be true. I'm not impressed with shockwave or quicktime, but the MP3 stuff or the 56k stream that comes out of the grassy hill is way beyond that in terms of fidelity, and very listenable.
