If I'd looked a little harder at XMPlay I would have seen how to do this. It's actually pretty simple: 1. Left click on the green checkmark. 2. On the window that opens, type in or copy and paste in the URL of the radio station 3. Left click on the "Open URL" button. I also found a setting for "Net streaming options" under the Miscellaneous tab in "Options and stuff" (right click on XMPlay's title bar). Located on their plugins page: http://un4seen.com/xmplay.html#plugins at the top of the list is the FLAC input plugin (revision 2): "Allows XMPlay to play FLAC (inc. Ogg FLAC) encoded files and streams." As for using Winamp plugins to do this in XMPlay, Winamp's plugin page: http://www.winamp.com/plugins/ is less than helpful because you only see a description of a particular plugin if you click on the listing. If a person wants to record streaming media then, from what I've read in this thread, the best option appears to be Screamer Radio: http://www.screamer-radio.com/ It provides a "Favorites" listing and looks to be very user friendly. -- Regards from John Corliss. I don't reply to trolls like Andy Mabbett. No ad, cd, commercial, cripple, demo, nag, PROmotion, share, spy, time-limited or trial wares or warez for me, please.
