Music Player question

[Shaun T. Erickson]

It claims to be able to play streaming Internet radio stations. There's 
more than one kind, right? Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, and so on, 
yes? How do I 1) know what type it will play, and 2) find stations of 
that type, to play?

Hmm. I discovered the radio play list in /usr/share/rythmbox, but when I 
try to play anything in that list, I get this:

There is no element present to handle the stream's mime type audio/mpeg.

For certain media formats, such as mp3 (which belongs to the audio/mpeg
MIME type), you need add-ons which are not included in Fedora Core
due to patenting or licencing issues. You could get an mp3 plugin here:

When I try to install, I get:

The plugin needs the extra packages 'libid3tag' (from fedora.us) and
'libmad' (from rpm.livna.org).

Don't install packages manually if you don't know how to solve their
dependencies. Use smart package resolvers like Yum or AptRpm

  http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraHOWTO
  http://rpm.livna.org

add package repositories to the configuration and let the tools do the
work:

  yum install gstreamer-plugins-mp3
or:
  apt-get update
  apt-get install gstreamer-plugins-mp3

It's worthwhile.

Just used apt-get + synaptic to do it all. The player is working fine 
now. Thanks. Now, back to the first part of my question. How do I find 
internet radio stations that this player can connect to?

I've had problems too sometimes, but it is up now! Hope there's no
trouble, some of those sites are great + better support for .ogg
