SL Radio channels on mplayer

Lots of Sri Lankan online radio stations seem to require Windows Media Player plugin or some other plugin when you try to access them over the Internet. Went through a couple of those radio channels finding out which urls that can be used with mplayer. Below are the findings, hope they will come to some use. I currently only listen to YesFM, and YesFM only. YesFM -> http://174.133.224.53/yesfm TNL Rocks -> http://220.247.224.89/live Lite FM -> http://222.165.133.161/live Y FM -> http://174.133.224.53/yfm E FM -> http://69.80.238.25 Shakthi FM -> http://174.133.224.53/shakthifm Neth FM -> http://38.96.148.49:5552 Sirasa FM -> http://174.133.224.53/sirasafm MAX Radio -> http://75.125.239.34:7045 As an example, to listen to YesFM, you can use mplayer http://174.133.224.53/yesfm This link helped quite a lot in finding out the Radio Channel web sites.

Hey thanks for sharing. Now I can listen to radio with mplayer without the radio card. I wonder what protocol it uses. It seems it is pumping a mp3 stream over http. But can't say whether that is the actual case without a proper investigation. BTW you can download the stream just like an ordinary file.
