Hey guys - quick question,

I've got rc2 installed and it's the only way I've found to play this internet radio stream I listen to that requires a username/password. The only thing is, they have your email address as your username, and everything I've tried chokes except for using...

> mplayer -user email@host. com -passwd myPass http:/ /radio.hostname.com/stream

...from xterm. Any other player I tried using with a playlist file or entering the email@addr/password in the URL does not work. But streams without the email address as the username (ie. demo/demo) work just fine.

Does anybody know a better solution to listen to a stream like this?

- Thanks
