BBC Streams in Banshee

Recent version of Banshee don't include a list of Internet radio stations because, according to the developer, the list was difficult to maintain (too many stations, some of which often go off air or change their streaming URL). So how do you find decent radio to listen to, when you need to block out all that office noise and get some work done? (Or really concentrate on Kingdom of Loathing).

Step forward bbcstreams.com, which has kindly half-inched the streaming URLs of most (if not all) BBC Radio stations, apparently for the purposes of streaming them on iPhones and iPads. But they work very happily in Banshee as well. Just in case the site gets taken down by the Beeb's legal eagles, click through for a few handy URLs...
