Yes. A .asx file is a so-called playlist file. Other playlist files are .asf, .pls, .m3u, .smil files, for example. Unlike other media players, mplayer does not detect these files itself, so you should add the -playlist option: mplayer -playlist 'http://mfile.akamai.com/80871/live/reflector:20168.asx?bkup=20883&prop=n' I got this radio station working fine this way. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
