There is a www.wqxr.com But, when you try to get to their stream from there, the link takes you to the sign up for AOL. I figured it was much easier to go through Winamp, since I found it there. And it's still working that way, even though I can no longer find the AOL with XM section of the Winamp library.
BTW, I just experimented and found that, in the terribly long and ugly URL I gave you, everything after the question mark can be deleted, and it will still work.
