Awright, I finally found the fix to my MP3-Rhythmbox problem. It was
documented at
http://www.mneylon.com/blog/archives/2005/08/05/mp3-support-with-rhythmbox/

In one command,

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins

I guess the reason I really wanted Rhythmbox to work with my Internet radio
was because I liked the way it looked.  It was the closest I could get to
the iTunes interface.  Mplayer was fine but the channel selection left much
to be desired.
