Harv, 

Save the URI as a playlist. In your favorite editor, just type the URI
and save it as, for example, "wxpr.m3u". When you click (or double-click
depending on your fm/wm) that file, it should open in whatever you have
associated with playlists. That's probably xmms.

PS--please remove the reply-to in your mailer as replies should go to
the list.

HTH,
Todd
