Dear syr,
I can offer You The solution for listening Internet Radios.
I unfortunately do not know about GTK based accessible Internet radio 
player/recorder application similar to TApin Radio for Windows.
But i can offer You The WEB site with many Internet radios, sure, not so 
many like in Tapin Radio.

You will need The Gnome-mplayer installed. In some cases also Totem 
Movie player.
I have found out, that Best support for plaiing multimedia streamed by 
using Internet is build in Debian live Gnome, latest stable release.
The time between connection To The server and time, when playback starts 
is very short.
