    I've got ubuntu hardy heron installed on my desktop PC, and I've been using banshee 1.0 as my media player (works VERY nicely, I gotta say). Anyway, I listen to a specific online radio station pretty often and was wondering if I could stream it through banshee? I mean it has last.fm support and whatnot, I figured this wasn't too stupid of a question (I'm fairly new to linux). http://www.979x.com/ that's the station and you can get it from here http://citadelcc-WBSX-FM.wm.llnwd.net/citadelcc_WBSX_FM

    Anyone have any suggestions? I tried adding it as a podcast but that didn't work (no duh, huh?)

    You can try VLC. It supports streaming audio.

    VLC is a pretty great piece of software IMO
