Playing Internet Radio Stations on Raspberry Pi

Install mpd and mpc. MPD is the music player and MPC is a client to control the music player

sudo apt-get install mpc mpd

Once these are installed, you just need to have a stream to play from. I found this site useful for getting streams: http://www.listenlive.eu/index.html
Add the stream to the playlist

mpc add http://stream.hoerradar.de:80/deltaradio-alternative128

Play the station using the following command.

mpc play

Use the following command to stop the player.

mpc stop

Once the station is added, you will only need to use mpc play or mpc stop to control the player.
