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?
