I cannot get any of the formats on KBAQ/KJZZ to auto play through my browser.' Windows Media Player (Ok, I don't care anyway at this point) Real Audio Player (should work, it works through xmms) Quicktime (apparently they require v6 - that's very very new so I can live with that) WinAmp (my guess it that it should work but doesn't) I really don't want to go through rigamarole of RealPlayer (the point is to live with open source stuff whenever/wherever possible right?) So I edit /etc/pluggerrc... 1 audio/x-pn-realaudio: ra,rm,ram : Realaudio-plugin resource locator 2 repeat swallow(xmms) fill : xmms "$file" 3# exits nokill: realplay "$file" leaving line 1 alone, inserting line 2, and commenting out line 3 per above No go...still get message that there's no associated application for audio/x-pn-realaudio so I edit Mozilla/preferences/helper applications and add new file type Description: RealPlayer (it's just a label I think) Extension: ra rm ram Mime_type: audio/x-pn-realaudio Handled by: /usr/bin/xmms [%s] #added %s later save - close all Mozilla windows (to be safe) go back and still get same message that there isn't a suitable player/associated application for audio/x-pn-realaudio So I'm frustrated and use the other link and find out that KBAQ (sister station of KJZZ) is http://rio.sc.llnw.net:7030/ and I put that into location for xmms and I've got music but the inability to handle this thru Mozilla bothers me and means that I can't listen to the whole broadcast still So can I do this without installing RealPlayer?
