I've been using this for a while now, so I'll call it done enough and just upload it.
It's tray-icon based station streamer for fans of soma fm.
Click the tray icon to adjust the volume. Double click to pick another station. Right click for more opts. Enjoy!

This is really cool, I like the crazy shell icon effect when you open a new station. I particularly like how you can open multiple stations at once and mix them with the volume bar.
This is well done, thanks for uploading it! Here are a couple screencaps so people can see what it is.



Couple notes:
The rando shell icon thing is cool, but still pops a tooltip for what looks like debug info
Terminate might be reworded to better reflect what the function does

Suggestions:
It would be cool to find a way to pull the now playing info, and pop it on song change like the pandora desktop app.
I'd use a Notify() to do that

Thanks for the pics, and the thumbs-up
I was hoping someone would enjoy it.

I do intend to make the stream's song history available. The station's stream's asx (eg, dubstep's Windows Media 128k) contains a link like this.
Can you give details regarding the notify of which you speak? I presume it's something in the Player Object. Using some kind of notification of song change would be good, but does the stream provide such signals, or is it just raw piped audio with a sidekick playlist url? [/thinking out loud]

I don't know. Kinda fluffy. My aim is to keep it minimalistic, and un-obtrusive. I think a tray icon hover tip would be sufficient for now-playing, and a sub-menu for recently played.
I will get back to this after finishing my current project
