Linux streaming audio HOWTO: triplej over the Internet

You will pick up a link like this off the website:

http://abc.net.au/streaming/triplej/triplej.m3u

Which if you download it just is a redirector to:

http://202.6.74.107:8060/triplej.mp3

So, make sure your firewall is going to allow the wacky port and you are off:

mplayer http://202.6.74.107:8060/triplej.mp3

Update: Saving the stream

This is how you can save the audio stream and listen at the same time! You can also get mplayer to parse the playlist file for you:

mplayer -playlist http://abc.net.au/streaming/triplej/triplej.m3u -dumpstream -dumpfile /home/greg/mp3/hottest_100.mp3
mplayer hottest_100.mp3 

Mplayer, I love you.
