I have a TP 240 that I use primarily for streaming audio from the internet to a stereo system, so there's no reason your 560X couldn't do the job.
I connected to WCBN's internet stream and got Windows Media Player to play the 64kb stream, but it would not initialize the 128kb stream. Real Player was able to play both 64 and 128, as did MusicMatch (a program probably no longer available). WCBN's stream is in MP3 (M3U) format, with a link also available for Quicktime format.
