I have made aliases for playing five radio stations with mpg123 and since
I cannot recall all the station names, I made a small script: echo 'wdav
24k, kcme 32k,......' (chmod +x) and called it radio, and put it on the
path. I put it, with sound-on, cdr-on, zip-on, scanner-on, etc., in
/usr/local/sbin. I can also put the stations on separate lines, just as
long as I put ' and ' before and after the list.
I type radio for a list of stations, then type the station name.
For some unknown reason, stations with alias in w* show up when I type
alias (and work when I type their name) but those starting in k* or K* do
not. I have another alias k - could this somehow interfer?
I added w to kuhf and kcme and now I can type wkuhf and wkcme to get kuhf
and kcme.
Any idea why k* or K* won't work as an alias?
Is there a better way of doing this which would still let me type the
radio station call name, but also let me just type its number after
viewing a menu? Something like Steven's BL3 xsetup? Using links and html
can you click on a link and get a command somehow?
After finding the URLs of useful stations, I no longer need to bother
using a browser and dealing with playlist .pls or .m3u files. A lot nicer
arrangement than realaudio but far less stations available and the only
ones I got working are in the US.

Just lost my station again:
[15.19] (15 minutes 19 seconds of play? pretty good)
'Decoding of standard input finished'
This is with wget -O - http:/...... |mpg123 -
I presume standard input paused for too long, which is where a buffer
would help, or is there some other way around this?
