Well some basic things you need are of course a computer to begin with and some speakers. Usually the computer has some speakers built in. So you or at least a headphone jack that you can put a set of headphones on. And another couple of ingredients you might need are a program or two that will allow you to listen to things for example, like wavs media or quicktime.

Click on that in your browser and then with the proper programming will just come up and begin to play. You can listen to radio online almost every radio station has an online feed, you can listen to independent records online. Every artist will usually have samples of their work that play on their websites. You can also go to some of the well known music download sites like iTunes or Rhapsody or Napster and all of these things, even Myspace were you can listen to new artists and independents by clicking a few buttons on your mouse.
