For listening in, WinAmp is the only way to go. I find Media Player hogs too many system resources to use for anything other than watching DVDs.

VLC is our personal favourite. here are a few reasons :

1. Its codec-less so no need to install lots of pesky codecs.
2. Its lightweight / fast and uses little resources.
3. Its allows for radio streams to switch bitrate midstream without disconnecting.
4. It plays almost anything your throw at it.
5. It has lots of advanced features including transcoding and more.

Don't you have log files?

As I can analyze our listeners, we have "Apple iTunes 51%". Personally I am using "Radium" (Radium. Your New Internet Radio Player.).

On iPad I am using TuneIn: Listen to Online Radio, Music and Talk Stations pro version.
