Once vlc is installed, provided you're not afraid of the terminal, it
might be worth checking out what happens when you type cvlc followed by a
particular site you'd like to hear. That way there's no need messing
around with checkboxes for some of vlc's functionality. On Tue, 9 Nov

Hi Jason,
I can at least give you an answer for your first question. I use VLC media
player. It can handle winamp playlists, and it can also be set as your
default media application. It works very well, and is quite accessible.
There are a few check boxes that aren't labeled, but one's an EQ, one puts
it in full screen mode in case you're watching a movie with it.
I hope that helps.
Friendly,
Chris
