Another pretty cool thing I have set up with my music is Winamp Remote. Create a free account, select the media you want to share & put it in the appropriate folder.
Then save the login link you get as a bookmark on your phone & presto! Providing your PC powered on is running Winamp Remote at home, you can access your music & stream it to your phone from anywhere in the world!! Works okish over a 3G connection but expensive, best left to wifi...
It's cool to show off with it though! At home, I've my 2nd laptop & backup hard drive running with a Winamp Remote account & I use it to play media via my phone, PS3 & PSP but I also gave my housemates the login & now they can access the files too.
It's definetly functional for me as a dj, I can setup an account & have a shared folder of my mixes etc. & if someone wants to hear it I can just give them the login info.

If it's an Internet Radio channel in the Nokia playlist you can hear it that way.

Yeah you can, using the blastfm application: http://nokiaaddict.com/2008/04/22/lastfm-player-for-the-n95-8gb/
Read the instructions carefully to get it working. It's 100% for me anyways.
Here's a cool app for any N or E series Nokia. It scrobbles the tracks you play on your phone: http://mobbler.googlecode.com/files/mobblers600112.sis

Found the Blastfm app just after posting this. Fun times! and indeed that's where I found it, the blog of @gerrymoth.
The Winamp remote sounds insane but I don't leave my pc on all the time. Uses too much power :P Will definately try sort somehing out with it though!
