This comes from Indymedia audio list, Whamb! should probobally be listed on the vorbis.com software pages. ----- Forwarded message from nathaniel t <vsea75@hotmail.com> ----- The whole world doesn't use Linux or Windows. Some tiny fraction of computer users use Macs. I didn't realize until yesterday evening how difficult and mysterious it is to try to listen to an icecast ogg vorbis stream on a Macintosh running OS X. So, just in case anybody out there needs to know, here's one way to do it. LISTENING TO OGG VORBIS STREAMS ON A MACINTOSH RUNNING OS X: You'd think iTunes and RealPlayer would play ogg vorbis streams, but they don't, and a lot of other "solutions" tossed up by Google don't seem to work either, at least for mere mortals like me. The only ogg-stream player that installed on a new macintosh this morning and actually got the job done was Whamb! 1.2, which you can download from http://www.whamb.com in a pretty straightforward, user-friendly manner. To make Whamb! your default player for web links ending in ".m3u" -- - control-click on, for instance, one of the "56K" links on our home page --http://seattle.indymedia.org/ -- and select Download Link to Disk from the resulting pop-up menu - find the downloaded .m3u file, for instance by clicking on the magnifying glass next to the new entry in the Downloads box on the screen - control-click on the .m3u file and select "Get Info" from the pop-up menu - in the new info box, click on the arrow next to "Open with" - from the newly exposed menu, select Whamb! - click on the button immediately below, labeled "Use this application to open all documents like this. [Change All ...]" - From now on, clicking on links ending in ".mp3.m3u" or ".ogg.m3u" should open Whamb! and play the streams the links refer to _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 _______________________________________________ imc-audio mailing list imc-audio@lists.indymedia.org http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-audio ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Fetch my GPG key from keys.indymedia.org: CA88 DDAB E1FE 0575 85D6 FA7A 73AA B59B [ 5438 6887 ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Use GNU Privacy Guard to protect your email, see [http://www.gnupg.org/] The attachement to this and every email I send is my GPG signature which is used to verify that I am the sender and it is unmodified by any third party.

Good point: I just trusted a nice chap who contacted us and told us how he did it - he really enjoys our station (in Ogg). We don't have any OS X machines here - our desktops are just WinNT, Win2k, and a few Red Hat boxes here and there - plus WinXP and Mac Os 9. -- James Cridland, Managing Editor, Virgin Radio New Media http://www.virginradio.co.uk/ | http://www.catchthegroove.com/ | http://www.listen2liquid.com/ No. 1, Golden Square, London W1F 9DJ - Tel 020 7434 1215 VIRGIN RADIO IS THE MOST LISTENED-TO ONLINE RADIO STATION IN THE WORLD!
