mplayer does it very well. For instance:

$ mplayer http://www.radio.ufscar.br:8000/radioufscar_96.ogg

Sometimes you will need to use the flag -playlist

how do i get the playlist for shoutcast?

On the shoutcast website, go to help->settings Set it to use your default player. Back on the browsing pages of shoutcast, right click the play icon and choose "copy URL" or similar. That is the URL of the playlist. On Thu, Jul 29, 2010 at 12:26 PM, Madhurya Kakati wrote:

You will need the URL of the streaming. For instance, if you need to listen to bebop you will go to this page http://www.shoutcast.com/radio/Bop. It has a list of radios that play bebop. You choose one and then you copy its URL with your mouse, by clicking right and then “copy url” or something like that. To listen to jazzradio.com, you would run:

$ mplayer -playlist http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=1378050

Quite straightforward, isn't it?

it is but getting the link is hard. anyways got one link listening to it now. :)

Sort of on the same topic here but is there a way to pull the stream location out of a radio stations web player so I can listen without having to open a web browser.

Here's the site I'm trying to stream - http://corusmedia.media.streamtheworld.com/player/Player.htm?id=cfmifm&city=Vancouver&bdskey=4777&url=http://www.rock101.com&platform=EMMISAM&active=true

That would be a page that I would avoid and forget about, it seems to be riddled with flash and most probably is meant to be played in the browser only. I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to lock the usage to the browser but it sure is a bad idea. -- Mauro Santos
