I thought I saw something similar yesterday when trying to listen to BBC Radio 3, but today, it seems to work properly. Oddly enough, wfrg works as well (it didn't before). I think the reason was because of the trailing :80 on the original link mentioned in the "What Use is Gstreamer" thread (as I couldn't make some gstreamer[1] stuff work, so that started an off-line series of replies). But here, amarok uses xine (observed in Settings/Configure Amarok/Engine). Anyway, if I just paste the URL as http://streaming.wfrg.org/ into Amarok, it'll work. I'm on lenny as well, and amarok seems more stable than it used to be. I used to make it crash all the time :(. > I did also try other Internet radio sites on Amarok's playlist.

I don't have very many radio stations preset in Amarok ;(. And most if not all of them are high-bandwidth (> 100 kbps). > Nigel.
