You can always grab the radio signal from the ether and encode it to MP3 or whatever on your own. Here are a couple of pages on how to do this: #1, #2.
It's true that OS X shares a common set of low level APIs with the BSD's and Linux. But OS X is much more than this core set of APIs. There's Carbon, QuickTime, Cocoa and so on.

The people who invented HTTP came up with something even better. HTTP allows you to say to a server in a single query: "If this document has changed since I last looked at it, give me the new version. If it hasn't just tell me it hasn't changed and give me nothing." This mechanism is called "Conditional GET", and it would reduce 90% of those significant 24,000 byte queries into really trivial 200 byte queries.
