If you're hearing Internet radio through your computer now, then you're likely hearing it through a soundcard and then to some typical powered computer speakers. To hook it to your stereo, look for preouts on the back of the soundcard to hook up to a spare input on your preamp, or look for a digital out (either Toslink or coax) and send it to a preamp/receiver capable of handling the digital signal.

As an alternative, you can get a device such as the Squeezebox which facilitates streaming audio from internet radio sources (as well as being able to create your own music server and play music on your stereo at will).

Hopefully that's a start. For any further information, it would be best if you could tell us what equipment and software you're using, and what you want to do with it.
