Herb, it took a fairly long time to load, on my not-really-so-very-fast
DSL connection but it played just fine in my browser, in Noatun. I
copied the URL, closed the browser, opened VLC clicked on File/Open
Network Stream, clicked on HTTP, pasted in the URL and VLC started
playing the file right where Noatun left off. Very cool!
I have, of course, long since added a multimedia repository to my
sources.list file and installed win32codecs. Another file that proved
helpful was libdvdcss2.
By the way, I'm still listening to that file as I type this. I don't
know what to call it, a podcast maybe? Anyway, it's a lengthy audio
clip from a radio station that opens with a singer/songwriter who does
one tune followd by a commercial and a 'canned' Rolling Stones
number before they get to a live-in-the studio band. I'm bad with
names so it didn't stick but they're damn good. Thanks for the link!
