Streaming Audio Battery Life

What is everyone getting with streaming audio off the internet? I listen to Lex and Terry in the morning and am getting about 2hrs off a full charge before the battery is done for.

I stream Howard Stern off of Sirius, and I've been able to stream for 2 hours with about 40-50% battery used.

Ok so when the phone is in the charger it will charge for awhile and then gets too hot to keep charging. Is there some battery tweaks that will help with this? Ive already tried mightyrom 5 and cannot use it as it has text msg problems.

I'm using www.thestreamcenter.com to stream a radio show out of dallas. I ran it off battery yesterday morning and got around 3-3 1/2 hrs but still had 1 bar left on stock ROM. I have updated the radio to 1.11.0F and it has helped with heat issues so I can leave it on the charger the whole time and it won't cut off.

I also did some light text messaging and emailing while streaming yesterday.
