I have just found http://www.simulradio.jp/ which collects a few stations.

And  http://xorsyst.com/japan/watch-japanese-tv-online/
will let you watch Japanese TV on your computer.

Live365.com has quite a few decent Japanese music radio stations. That's what I use, anyway. Sometimes the entire site seems to just stop working, but that's not too common.

Does it for me, too, which is why I don't use it

Dunno whether the Windows version is any better, but with the Linux port the audio and video tend to get annoyingly out of sync... Still, at least there is a Linux port :-)

No, that's just how the program is. I don't think it syncs properly for anyone. >_>

I tried some of those links and I'm not really happy, not even with my own link, haha. Why is it so hard to find a good Japanese web radio with (mostly) Japanese music and Japanese moderation? I'd love to listen to such a station in the background while studying...

Maybe this one....?!   *tunes in*   

Edit2: I think THIS IS IT!!! no moderation but Japanese music 24/7 non-stop...

Great! I'll listen to awful JPop for the rest of my life! Wooooohooooooo!!

Okay, so I'm listening to this virtually non-stop. It's only music, no speakers, but like 9 out of 10 songs are in Japanese. The music is pretty mixed and the quality is great compared to other web radios. Up to 128 kb/s mp3! Plus, they say: "...over 25,000 songs and we can broadcast for nearly THREE MONTHS without repeating a single song!"

Highly recommended!

Most radio stations I've found either don't work on Mac or are American radiostations with Japanese music. Grrr...English

Of course asx works on mac. There is a pal of mine here in the lab that uses it.
He recommends VLC, but you can see a better answer here :

I've been torturing my ears with armitunes.com pretty much constantly, thanks Stoked! ^_^ To think, I'd gone so long without experiencing Shonen Knife singing 'Catnip Dream'....now I'm not sure it will EVER stop...so utterly random, yet so catchy. *Goes to see if I can manage to get a Japanese Japanese song stuck in my head instead*
Will have to check out the others as well.

RadioSure is an online radio player for the desktop. Users can add new radios to the database, so you can add any radio you find and listen to all your favorite stations from one place.

My favorite Japanese station is Radio Tsukuba. It has good music and lots of talking. They also have a program were you can listen to 昔話, with great voice acting and all. Some days ago they had a program about 12 year old children talking about which animal they would like to be if they reincarnated. Awesome.

For music (not Japanese), I love SmoothJazz.com.
