MEWU - Scene 1 ... Listen Radio just like Winamp

Ok , this is the first scene of MEWU .. My Experiments With Ubuntu ...

people who use Winamp , must be familiar with this Shoutcast feature of it ... with its help we can listen 100s of internet radio of various categories ... but its very upsetting that those winamp guys yet haven't taken out their super famous software for Linux !!! , it really makes me upset ... but smart guys have alredy found ways to overcome it ... and the most common way is to install an internet radio tuner software and then combine it with player which can play that file !!!

Here, I use , Streamtuner , which i use to tune internet radio ... and another software VLC , the most popular player which can play almost any file !! , with their combination i can hear radio ... and perhaps more stations then winamp offers ... like shoutcast ( that we listen on winamp ) , Live365 and PunkCast and many others .....

How To Set the Things UP ....

to install stream tuner ... open terminal .. ( its same like command prompt ) ..

type ,

sudo apt-get install streamtuner



it will install stream tuner ...

and then .. to install VLC ...

sudo apt-get install vlc


after done with installation, open streamtuner ... in it go to .. edit -> preferences ...



and in preferences make changes as i have shown in image above , just put "vlc" in place of xmms , in ... listen to a .m3u file and listen to a stream .... and you are all set ...

now when you want to listen radio , just find station in stream tuner .. and say , tune it ... and it will automatically open it vlc !! ... i bet it will be fine more good experience then listening radio on winamp ... with some more settings you can even record that live stream !!!!! but keep it for some other day ..

till then ...

njoy .. ubuntu ....
