Both URLs?  How do I use this script, by typing the name of the script and 
what else?  When I am searching for new stations, I run across .pls or 
.m3u files - should I set up the browser to feed them to this script? 
Then feed the output to my mplay script?  Using ; or a pipe?

Yes, except the URLS are not all http rstp or pnm, I have seen other 
formats used by realaudio or wmp, and I have not yet even looked at an ogg 
URL.  They all seem to be three or four letters followed by '://'

I don't know how sed works - what is s/ or g/ or WORKS?  (I should read 
about all this but there is too much other exciting stuff to keep up 
with).

The other problem is that sometimes there are two URLS, the first of which 
is a short intro sometimes asking for donations, the second the actual 
broadcast, so it would need to clip out the second URL.

I don't follow 'copy as an option'.  Do I click on the .pls or .m3u or 
.asf link somehow?  Or copy it all to a file and run the file through your 
script?
