I want to play Internet Radio from my PC to my audio system.

See this page for details of how to set up MinimServer and MinimStreamer to play the BBC stations. Once you have got this working, it is fairly simple to add other stations.

You need to be running a UPnP renderer (a PC software program) to send the audio to your DAC. Of the options you have listed, foobar2000 is the best choice.

OK, I have pointed Foobar at your BBC file (renamed to BBC Radio.m3u) and the right hand box shows '?-?' under Artist/album, 'bbc_radio_three' under title track/artist and '?' under duration. If I double click on, say, bbc_radio_three I get the following error message:
