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.

Counter-Strike 1.6 on Wine

I wanted to play this game Counter-Strike, for some time now..and yesterday i got some free time to try this out. Actually it was pretty easy to get it to work on my Fedora9 with Wine. Only thing i had to do manually was to copy this msvbvm60.dll from a M$ Windows machine to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/ The graphics get a bit jerky when the game is starting up, and once it loads up its quite smooth. Btw The installer wizard was filled with some strange looking characters instead of the instructions, but i guess i got the correct buttons when i clicked. Shouldn't be hard. This would be the second FPS game i had luck with over wine., Unreal tournament being the 1st.
