Radio Tray comes with support for bookmarks, PLS, M3U, ASX, WAX and WVX playlist formats, and multiple plugins. It can play a number of media formats, which are based on the gstreamer libraries.

It would be really cool if it could also show the track and artist info. Is that possible with this applet? If yes, then please tell me how!
It will show you the name of artist and track once a feed begins to play, at the top of the menu. HTH
