LG CU500
Internet Radio??
Wolfgangsvault.com has an awesome internet radio...will I be able to listen to it through this phone? If so, will I need to pay Cingular for a particuler service such as Media Net? Thanks.

Because you'll be using a huge amount of internet time, you really will need the unlimited internet access of Medianet. It's possible from a technical perspective that this would work since the phone can download data fast. But I don't know what client software (Java likely) would be required and if the phone could handle it. Again my guess is it could, but I don't know for sure.

No.
Wolfgangsvault.com uses a Flash-based radio player that only works on devices that can execute Macromedia (neh, Adobe) Flash programs. The CU500 can't do that.
The CU500 has a built-in multimedia player that can play 3gp streaming audio. You can check out

and see how it works...

I tried that link but it times-out while buffering. In fact, it doesn't get past 0%. Is that a technical problem or a reception problem (2 or 3 bars of Edge)??
Also, when I go to the root site, www.somafm.com, they have music file formats that are advertised to be compatible (aac+, mp3, WMA) with the music player but when I select them, it restarts the phone. Using mini-opera, it opens the standard browser and says 'unsupported content.' The only file format that works is 3GPP which opens a window similar to the one the suggested link above opens. What gives?!?! Thanks...

The buffering problem is either a reception problem, or a web site problem.
As for the different file formats, they are supported if you have the files on the phone, not for streaming. 3GPP is a streaming format, the rest have to be sent in an additional streaming wrapper (e.g. Microsoft has its proprietary WM streaming format), and that prevents the phone from recognizing the music...
