[gentoo-user] mp3/stream player?

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

I am looking for a mp3 and stream player (playing mp3 streams and m3u
directly) as a standalone player and for combination with streamtuner.

Ideal would be a player which itsself can scan for internet radio
stations, tune in, play and record in different files as streamripper
so I can skip streamtuner.

I tried audacious but I cannot convince it to play anything. 

Is there anything aout there, which is still be developped,
non-bloated and stable, which I could give a try?

Thank you very much for you help in advance!

Kind regards,
Meino Cramer

You can't really go wrong with VLC, although finding a stream is usually
somewhat hard if you don't already have the URL. Other options are
Listen or Rhythmbox; try them out and see which you come to prefer.

solfire:/home/mccramer>sudo emerge -pv Rhythmbox

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "Rhythmbox".


???
Is it part of another package or is it non-Gentoo or is it a typo ???
;)

Portage acts funny with capitalization, sorry.
The package is at media-sound/rhythmbox

After futzing around with various other programs over the
years, I finally settled on mplayer for both local mp3/m3u and
for streams.

Can you explain what "scan for internet radio stations" means?
Do you want to iterate through all possible IP addresses, port
numbers and stream types until you find something?

mplayer is certainly non-bloated and stable.
