Rep:
Is Internet Radio possible in Linux
I use Windows Media Player so I can listen to the BBC. I am currently in the process of removing Windoze from all my machines and installing Red Hat 8. So is there a Linux equivalent, a player that does internet radio?
Pcghost, do you have Samba print sharing setup? I've got Samba running on my Redhat 8.0 box and shared directories work but not print sharing for some reason. I'm losing my mindhere

yes it's great, but taking that a little further....
also install the mplayerplug-in from sourceforge and also install realplayer or realone. then copy / symlink the real librariy (e.g /usr/local/RealPlayer9/Codecs) to /usr/lib/real and then mplayer will be able to play realaudio such as the bbc7 stream within the webpage.
