2004 or 2005, there was some "low bandwidth gamer radio" that I used while gaming on dial up. I've looked everywhere for it, would probably never use it again since I'm on fiber instead of dial up now, but it just bugs me not being able to remember what it was called. I've found other services like that that would have been active at the time, but looking at their UI in screenshots or wayback machine snapshots, none of them look familiar.
2004 would be a bit late but it kind of reminds me of MPlayer.com. Here's a video. The interface kind of looked like a radio, it also featured the first voice-chat I ever used, but everyone was on modem so it was unusably terrible.
