Radio streams via winamp?

[JH_Radio]

Thanks for the info about Clear Channel streams.
Do other companies offer direct feeds via Winamp?
If so, what sintax do I have to put in?
I'd like not only regular stations, but links to HD2/s, 3/s etc if possible.
I know for CBS you can put in something like:
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/kluvhd2.pls
For KLUV's hD2 50's-70's Oldies stream
for WOGL you'd put
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/woglfm.pls
For other stations you'd use call letters of station, station band.
however, what's weird is for WIPHD3, which is the 70's-90's classic rock of WMYSP, the URL is still:
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/wyspfm.pls
aren't there certain groups you can use the AAC or AAC+ suffix somehow?
the streams i linked , are they the the highest qualety stream available?
I know you can get direct links from Radio-locator.com (which sometimes dont always work), and TheStreamCenter.com has some too.
Thanks!

The only direct feeds for Winamp are via Shoutcast.

A lot of group owners, including Clear Channel and CBS, try to force you to go to their website or use their app to listen. They sell ads on the websites and on their apps and they want to get "hits."

Sometimes you can find the audio stream URL by looking at the web page source (menu item View Page Source in your browser). Replay AV by Applian has an app that tells you what the URL is when you play an audio stream.

not sure what good that does in my case, i'll put it on in the browser and just let it play while on another different site, checkin email, etc.
