That's how I do it, I have not looked for a better way to do it because it's good enough for me... It also depends on the back-end your using and what's in your cplayrc file... You could also launch the stream at the command line, you'll still need to manually download the playlist file first: $ cplay radio_paradise.m3u If you do this: $ cplay http://www.radioparadise.com/musiclinks/rp_128.m3u It won't automatically fetch the playlist file, I think it's simply an issue with the back-end player... maybe mpg123 (or another back-end) can automatically fetch them... I don't know... have not tried. -- BSD Podcasts @: http://bsdtalk.blogspot.com/ http://freebsdforall.blogspot.com/
