Radio stations sometimes make it difficult to find the actual media resource locator for their feeds, and as such you have to slog through a few pages to get to the actual url you need to put on the command line. Sometimes, getting the .pls or what have you file will give you an embedded media resource locator file that you can simply hand off to one of those players and have it play the content for you. I've employed this technique (for instance : $ mplayer `cat radio-feed` ) where the radio-feed file is a file that looks like: rtsp://128.255.60.46:554/encoder/ksuilive.rm?cloakport=8080,554,7070 --stop-- pnm://128.255.60.46:7070/encoder/ksuilive.rm?cloakport=8080,554,7070 (one radio station profile chosen at random, though this one seems to be setup for realmedia aka realplayer). Once you know the real address for the station feed, it's not too much of a chore to get one of the free (i.e., oss) players to play the contents, although you may need codecs and other libraries to do it. Over here, I have a number of kde icons (shortcuts) with names of radio stations - one click and up pops a konsole or xterm with mplayer (or ogg123) playing the feed content. That works fairly well, but it would be nicer if the radio station content were more integrated into the players, which is one thing about Windows Media Player I actually like. But the real trick is to get the browser to open one of a number of alternatives (mplayer, xine, etc.) when encountering a click here sign saying listen live or equivalent. Again, mplayer plugin works quite well. -- David E.

Re: Free Internet... ?
The most recommended ISP was www.freeweb.com as shown below FreeWWWeb (http://www.freewwweb.com) claims you need Windows or MacOS, but they use a straightforward PPP connection. I set my account up with about ten minutes of perusing the kppp scripting literature. The only caveat is freewwweb requires you enter @freewwweb.com after the user name which is non-intuitive and had me banging my head up against the wall for a while. I get decent connection speeds here in Cincy, Ohio, USA. The only other complaint I have about freewwweb is that they changed the name of their mail server without notifying anyone, which was an inconvenience for a couple of days until I read their updated tech spec page. regards, Percival wrote: I apologize, but I remember that several days ago someone was talking about a free web access deal.

Re: Free Internet... ? Why 14 mb?
Actually, I think it is probably a customized version of Internet Explorer. I don't know about the Mac, probably IE for that as well. Many ISPs offer versions of IE with their logos in place of the spinning 'e' and other customizations. Since some of them offer this, everyone else feels as though they have to do it as well. Update: The gateway through http://www.teledyn.com/products/FreeWWW works very well - and you don't download anything (just the setup.cgi).
