Since I moved to a new city with the ****tiest radio stations on the planet, I've began to discover all those online radio stations.
I'm using Itunes to find and play the stations.
The problem is the sound quality. Sucks the big-o. How do I, or can I ,get CD quality sound from the radio stations?

I'm using my onboard sound on the DFI Lan Party and using Nvdia sound mixer.
For speakers, I'm using cheap set up.....2 small ones with a sub woofer.

Just looking for some tips.

impossible.
the only thing i can suggest is finding radio stations that stream >=128kbps.
Last.fm has tons of stations (very customizable too), and streams at 128kbps. Not CD quality, but acceptable.

XM Satellite Radio.

You can find a nice handheld reciver and a dock for it with nice speakers. Best quality you can get
