From: Tony van der Hoff on 6 Apr 2010 12:54 Classic FM <http://www.classicfm.co.uk/> has a streaming channel, which works fine under 'doze. Under Ubuntu 9.10, and under Debian Lenny, using Firefox, The "Listen Now" button produces the following pop-up: <------------------------- From what we can tell, you are accessing our player using a computer that is running a version of Linux. To enjoy our Listen Live service, you'll need to have a media player capable of playing Windows Media content installed. One such player is MPlayer, further details can be found here. If you already have a compatible player installed, click here to access the audio / video you've requested. ---------------------------> I have MPlayer installed, but clicking on the "click here" link does nothing. Has anyone managed to listen to Classic FM under Linux? How? Cheers, Tony
