If you haven't already, try out the N800's internet radio capabilities. My favourite network is the BBC, which has something like 40 or 50 live station streams plus rolling 1 week archives of each station's programmes all freely accessible through the web:

Listening to each station's "listen again" section is easy, just pick a programme and click on it. However, there's a slight kink on saving "listen live" streams, you have to open the stream, then ignore an error message, and then save the stream's link to the media library so that it shows on your desktop Internet Radio menu. I've done a tutorial about this which makes it a bit clearer:

and have always had a fascination with numbers stations.
Another BBC plug, they did a 30 minute radio documentary about British number stations:
