@799 I followed your multi-media templateVM how-to document. I installed VLC (haven't tried it yet) and Google Chrome. I do not know if it was the library that was added, but I can now listen to the radio and streaming music. I prefer Banshee to play my music which is all ripped from physical CDs I have bought over the decades (the sites I mentioned are the only ones I stream). However, I will check out VLC and see if it can handle my music library (it is organized differently than the organizations normally supported by music players, which is why I prefer Banshee -- I organized it using Banshee). VLC definitely works (tried "opening a folder"). I will have to learn how to navigate my library with it.
