Re: xmms / mpg123 cannot handle Shoutcast URLs? (http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=2819&file=filename.pls)

HHHMMM. I do not use Mozilla, but I suspect you are correct. I use Konquerer 
with Red Hat 7.3 and it works with XMMS perfectly. You might try right 
clicking on the links on the web page and specifying to open with XMMS and 
see what happens.

I just doubled checked both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis steams and I got connected with 
no problems using XMMS.

You might also want to check and see what your desktop environment has setup 
for those files types as well.
