I'm not sure about xmms and streams, never having tried it. So I've just
been playing with this, and it seems to work like Nikolas' description
of cplay: download the playlist manually, then you can load it from
within xmms. I'm listening to radioparadise.com as I type this (thanks
for the link, Nikolas!)

Does anyone know of streams that sound like XRT or Q101?... two radio
stations in Chicago
*This* is exactly what I was going to ask about next:
if we could all post streaming sites. Oe of my favorites is
http://www.sky/fm/[many substream URL's].
Thanks for thhe Guide, Nikolas!
Another thing I've been wondering about is xmms-faad2
which is mp4 or a High Effiency decoder of "aac"(?)
streams that only require 24kpbs to yeild fairly high
fidelity sound. Does anybody know anything about how
xmms-faad2 works with good ol' xmms?? (I'm completely
new to most of this--streaming sites. But then just got
new speakers w/bass boombox!) So any tips will be very
welcome.

The faad2 item should just be a plugin for xmms. It's kind of
convoluted how they compile stuff with the faad2 lib, but basically-in
Linux at least-it downloads the complete faad2 source, compiles it
first, then compiles the plugin from a different branch from the main
source in the source tree.
I was doing a bit of reading too (trying to see if I can just change
the source a bit to get ID3/iTunes tags to be read in xmms), and it
turns out that iTunes uses MP4 format with AAC encoding, as opposed to
AAC which uses MP2 encoding as a base.
Doesn't really matter all that much I suppose, but I was just
looking through the source trying to figure stuff out and the original
author's nomenclature is just a bit confusing.
