OK, I followed the instructions given and found rythmbox defaults to "paused" when the play is actioned ( by doubleclick or play radio ) then total lock-up occurs and forced quit is needed. I tried the same thing in Amarok but the stream would not play giving a "there is no audio channel" error. Both players do a play other streams but not the one I would like to hear. Regards john
Nope, no install script necessary. Just follow these steps (on Ubuntu 8.10): - open rhythmbox - navigate to Library -> Radio - right-click in the list on the right hand side and select "New Internet Radio Station" - paste the link in the dialog box that popped up and click "Add" - select this new internet radio and click on "Play"
NB: Rhythmbox seems a bit buggy and might not manage to play the radio immediately. But after a few times double-clicking on the radio (or selecting the station and the clicking on the "Play" button) it finally starts playing the stream.

Sorry, but it works fine for me (just tried it again with the link below - always takes me a few attempts to get it to play). http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/audioredirect.asp?whichbrand=coastAK BTW My Rhythmbox version is 0.11.6. Haven't tested amarok, as I don't use it. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
I use VLC to listen to streams like this. I tried the one you posted below and it works. I use the firefox plugin here to connect the stream to vlc: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/446 mplayer would also work. Best, John Peter Reutemann wrote:

Interesting, neither mplayer nor vlc worked for me. Only Rhythmbox. Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
