WMA radio with Xubuntu

Hi.

Just installed Xubuntu for a friend of mine. He wants to listen a certain WMA stream over internet. What is the shortest way to get it working? I admit I do not know much about Ubuntu repositories and things like that.
Thanks.

My favorite is xmms. You might want look at the application called streamtuner because xmms and streamtuner work really well with each other.

Go to: http://www.getautomatix.com and install automatix. After installation, an entry for it will appear in the menu, you call also start from the command line with "automatix". You need to install multimedia codecs, mplayer, and probably the mplayer plug-in for firefox. Automatix does a lot of other useful things. You will be warned that the codecs are illegal in the United States.
