Jim >>> This URL is not the stream, but some information that directs
your web browser to the stream.  You cannot use it to 'Tune to URL'
with SlimServer (though your web browser can use it with a plugin, such
as RealPlayer;  and you can, of course, open it with Windows Media
Player if you wish).

If you save this file, and open it in a text editor you'll see that its
contents are as follows:

<ASX version="3.0">

The four alternative URLs for the actual streams are the bits like

mms://wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/radio1/radio1_nb_e1s1

(the numbers at the end change for each of the four)

and you can use any one of these to tune SlimServer in, and to save as
a favourite in SS.
