I listen to local KLSX here in LA on my computer at work and am waiting for Sirius to start streaming Howard Stern online. The problem I see with streaming on the computer is bandwith and usage.
If you have a poor internet connection or share your pipes with many people like in a corporate atmosphere or are located a long distance from your internet provider you could experience additional drop outs and reduced sound quality.
So far, I'm finding internet radio in general to sound tinny and unnatural. Same with Sirius satellite radio. I think DirecTV music channels sounds slightly better.
