[mad-user] Playing Internet Streams with Madplay

[Mark Kane]

Hi everyone.

This may be a stupid question, but I've read through the madplay man
page and online documentation several times and I cannot get an MP3
Internet radio station (SHOUTcast) to play with madplay.

Every time I try on the command line, I get:

------------------------------------------------------
[mixx941 at amd64:~]% madplay http://stream.com:8000
MPEG Audio Decoder 0.15.2 (beta) - Copyright (C) 2000-2004 Robert
Leslie et al. 
http://stream.com:8000: No such file or directory
------------------------------------------------------

I've tried with and without the trailing slash on the URL, with/without
quotes on the URL, and adding the "listen.pls" at the end. Still the
same. Tried downloading the .pls and playing it from the file, although
that gives this:

------------------------------------------------------
[mixx941 at amd64:~]% madplay listen.pls
MPEG Audio Decoder 0.15.2 (beta) - Copyright (C) 2000-2004 Robert
Leslie et al. error: frame 0: lost synchronization
0 frames decoded (0:00:00.0), -inf dB peak amplitude, 0 clipped samples

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
