The "inx player" music player can handle Shoutcast or Magnatunes playlists.
Elinks is configured to recognise and play media from most URLs. It can also
play .wma, .asx, .ram etc., provided that the URLs do not use flash or javascript...
		
The "Random Radio" menu or "inx Radio" menus use mplayer, while cplay uses
mpg321 or ogg123. M3u and Shoutcast streams can be played from elinks with 
the "moc" player ( Music on Console - command "mocp") 

EOCPLAY
fig-col
echo "Tips for playing streams directly from Elinks."
		info-col

cat << EOELINKS

On the magnatunes.com pages, you get a choice of using their flash-based
player, or playing as m3u. Scroll down through the links to the "m3u" link to
use "playlist" for Magnatunes. A quick way to navigate the magnatunes.com site
is to use the elinks search function on each page - this will highlight the search
terms. On the page that has the actual m3u link, doing this will select it:

/m3u 

On the shoutcast.com site, the links to look for are the [IMG] links to the left
of the entry you want to play. To search, select the search field, hit <enter>
and *then* edit the field / type your search terms.

I recommend using elinks rather than xlinks2/links2 -g for these purposes. It is not
as pretty, but it works! You will be prompted for what you want to do with files -
it should be fine to just accept "mocp", "playinx" or "playlist", which means just hitting
<enter>.

"playlist" is just a work-around to make m3u playlists readable in the "less" pager,
without extraneous characters like %20 and _ , which are not removed by "mocp".

This is a matter of personal preference :) On Freenode, a few to lurk in might be:
##linux
#ubuntu-offtopic  ( you won't be thanked if you ask about INX in #ubuntu ;-))
#debian           ( don't even *think* about asking INX questions here! )
If there's enough interest, we might have a #inx some day ;-)
In each case type /join #name-of-channel to join

* There are *lots* of other channels - just be aware of the netiquette points mentioned
  in the IRC section of the Net and Web menu
* Registering a nick is a good move - type "/msg nickserv help" to get some pointers
* Just watching and reading can be educational - get a feel for it before you join in
