Since RealPlayer, QuickTime, and Windows Media Player streams won't play in the default Knoppix setup (no players), I went looking for something that WOULD play. I LOVE the fact that Knoppix works so well -- and so easily -- with my SBC DSL!
I started with the heavy hitter, which is Virgin Radio London, a rock station:
http://www.virginradio.co.uk/index.html
Streaming MP3 -- good content, excellent audio quality. It even recognized that I was running Linux. Cool! But I wanted a little more choice. Then I remembered:
http://www.WinAmp.com
which has support for SHOUTcast streaming MP3 technology. It, too, works GREAT with XMMS -- and has nearly as much variety as Spinner, with no ads on most streams. Classical, jazz, rock, reggae, electronic -- it's all there. Many streams have multiple bandwidth choices, from 28.8 kbps right up to cable/T1. It's about the middle of the home page.
Just thought I would share... By the way, does anyone have other suggestions for MP3 streams?
