Hiya Jeff, I'm pretty much a FNG myself but I also listen to scanners w/XMMS, here's what one of my playlists looks like:
#EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,Cobb County Georgia Police (Precincts 1 and 4) and Fire http://216.66.69.100:3010 #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,Washington DC Metro Police http://160.79.128.61:8618 #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,Fulton County Georgia http://216.66.69.100:3012 The first line #EXTM3U (Not sure what this means, maybe an identifier for XMMS)? The second line EXTINF:-1,Washington DC Metro Police is what's shown as the title in the playlist. The third line http://160.79.128.61:8618 is of course the URL Playlists are saved as plain text files (mine are in /home/nyal ). If you find a new URL just add it to your playlist (I use KWrite) with the three lines substituting your info. Please note this is more than likely the hard way to get things done but you don't learn anything taking the easy way out. Maybe someone on the list can explain with a bit more clarity? If you're looking for more scanners there are a few @ shoutcast.com Nyal -- "Once you've pulled the pin out of Mr. Grenade he is no longer your friend" On Friday 27 May 2005 01:37 pm, Jeff Newton wrote: > Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you are using the XMMS player on your > linux boxes?
