I use Digitally Imported (di.fm), almost exclusively.  It works on  
Linux and OSX (first hand experience on both accounts), and it is  
free up to 96kbps mp3 (or better formats).  Subscriptions are  
something like US$10/month for 160kbps streams.

The selection of music they stream does not cover all possible  
tastes, but the channels are narrowly focused and the selection of  
channels is broad (and growing).  Worth checking out for Internet  
music if the channels appeal.  At any given moment, they appear to be  
streaming to the tens of thousands, so they have a pretty good  
audience.  I've found more good new music on their various channels  
over the last few years than a lifetime of FM radio.
