Two more things relevant about this thread to pass on: 1) This past weekend I wrote a perl script to search for and play shoutcast streams from the command line. So if you want to listen to some Punjabi music to go with Jay's curry you can type: "shoutcast punjabi" and it will look for streams of Punjabi music (there are 6 at the moment) and then play the selected one for you via mpg321. You can find the script here: http://www.vdomck.org/wiki/index.cgi?NerdStuff - would be interested to hear if anybody found it useful/useless. 2) Playing shoutcast streams with command line players does not always work - it seems some shoutcast streams check the user-agent in the http request before they will stream their data. A cool workaround I stumbled upon shows how to hack around this and also the sheer flexibility of a unix approach: Use lynx to fake the user-agent to be Winamp and then pipe the raw results to mpg321: lynx --source --useragent=winamp http://64.236.34.141:80/stream/1015 | mpg321 - What this also shows is yet another way to save streams: lynx --source --useragent=winamp http://64.236.34.141:80/stream/1015 > savedStream.mp3 Mike _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
