[SOLVED] Stream live Radio News (Rhythmbox)
Hi All,
I'm trying to stream wbez (Chicago public radio) to rhythmbox and it's telling me that it can't find suitable codecs. The address that I see in firefox when I stream from the site is:

I actually changed the address. I guess you can't stream directly from the address given within firefox (which is a bit of a pain I suppose) so I clicked on the itunes link, it then downloaded a pls file, I opened the file with text editor and copied the address given inside of it:
http://sc5.lax.llnw.net:80/stream/wbez_91_5_fm
