Amarok has scripts that add new radio stations, but Clementine
comes to mind as a player with quite a few stations available by
default. Probably they are shoutcast or icecast streams. Which means
you can also just use a browser from either of those sites.
There are also a few players listed in the package manager that offer
these streams.
I don't know where your player went, unfortunately :/
