Here's one little thing that bugs me: 2SER (community radio station in Sydney) broadcast on line, but sadly they require Windows Media Player 7. My question: is there any way of playing such stream in Linux?
I'm aware of Crossover plugins, but their support for Media Player stops at its version 6.-whatever. I also looked at mplayer pages, which list a great number of supported formats but in the end I wasn't sure whether it would do what I want or not. In any case, I tried to get mplayer running a while back and I failed miserably... As I live just up the road the easiest solution for me would be to simply buy a cheap radio but there are lots of Media Player streams out there, and it would be handy to be able to access them... as for 2SER, I even sent them email politely pointing out the advantages of using open formats when presenting content on the Net, especially for a community station, but apparently I failed to change their minds :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- "In the struggle of Good against Evil, it's always the people who get killed." -- Eduardo Galeano -- 11:04am up 2 days, 20:59, 4 users, load average: 0.16, 0.05, 0.01-- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
