The KDE app does and I am really getting into some one the new drums and ambient(?) stuff. Wow. Anyway, curses is fine. Thanks for the config file.
Download the streams playlist file (.pls, .m3u, etc.) and then add it to cplays playlist like you would with a normal mp3... That's how I do it, I have not looked for a better way to do it because it's good enough for me... It also depends on the back-end your using and what's in your cplayrc file... You could also launch the stream at the command line, you'll still need to manually download the playlist file first: $ cplay radio_paradise.m3u If you do this: $ cplay http://www.radioparadise.com/musiclinks/rp_128.m3u It won't automatically fetch the playlist file, I think it's simply an issue with the back-end player... maybe mpg123 (or another back-end) can automatically fetch them... I don't know... have not tried. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
