Embedded Media Players


I notice more of the sites I visit for radio have come up with their own embedded players which you can't ever copy a url off of. The reason this is a problem for me is I like like to log on to a radio station and keep browsing elsewhere. With these players as soon as you leave their site you lose their audio. Usually I would copy the url into smplayer or kaffeine or what have you and save it there. I can't do that now. Has anyone found a solution to this? http://airamerica.com/, http://www.620kpoj.com/pages/listenlive.html and there are others, music etc. Is there a player that can grap the urls these stations are on and play them independently? If you just want to sit there and listen I guess it's all right, but it's kind of nice to multi-task too.

Can you get the url into smplayer or kaffeine Some will play w/o being on the internet. For instance, I'm listening to one of the stations and I want to read my mail, I have to "cancel all tabs" to do that then I lose the station. Yes, I can get the station, and as long as I'm on the net I'm OK, but I can't leave the net like you can if you have it running in smplayer etc.

when I click to listen live on both of those stations I get a separate pop up box that has the player.

What browser are you using? I am using firefox.

I'm using Firefox, and I get their player too, but if I could get it in another player I could listen fully independent of their site, like I used to.
