Axios Yeah, but I was trying to play straight from browser, not downloading.

      elfprince That screanshot is from brave I just copied your link to another tab
      and thats what I got

      Firefox info---Firefox supports AAC audio playback in HTML5 only
      Thats why I went uggh i thought I tried brave first
      I am playing direct in brave

      Its working I closed brave and restarted I dont know what to say
      I was playing alex jones ...rofl

          Oops, I must have tried several AAC channels not available at that time. For some reason, brave can play AAC now.

          Please consider this post thread solved. 😆

          Axios yeah libre wolf could not play had a warning. my chromium knockoff (ungoogled) play just fine.

          @elfprince I did try an experiment. ..........instead of actually choosing a file format I just hit the play arrow:

          opened up a player both times and am listening to some strange stuff!

          again: what a great find. we had something similar in repo (gradio ) but it was not this comprehensive.

              brent I just hit the play arrow

              Umm, that's what I've been doing all along....

                  brent I believe that I wasn't reading the error message pop ups correctly. It's channel not available on that url, and not about the file type. Simply AAC was coming up every time at that time, and so I made a too quick conclusion. haha

                      @elfprince
                      last night a click on play button was 5/10 (50%) successful.
                      Tonight, close to Zero and that's shuffling browsers.
                      Shoutcast demands you download streams and that's OK--I finally get your question. I never get much the first time! axios was right: VLC can handle all of the streams. I don't like filling up my Music folder with that stuff (remember ADS from WIN days?).
                      So if you need the acc or m3u to play this stuff in another foss app, it is not real streaming.
                      still fascinating hour I've spent, its had its thrills.
                      the shortwave (uhf) stations were insanely volatile. fun. when I was a kid they were not profane, just ships and truckers and night owls.
                      'talk' was another walk on the wild side.
                      I grew up with radio so this is a return to that wonder except it's now Beyond Thunderdome🙂.
                      Even the disco.

                        brent I grew up with radio

                        Many of us did. Radio stations were the main attraction, since tv in those days only had one boring channel to view. 😄

                          18 days later

                          brent I think VLC media player creates and uses .xpsf playlist files. It could be so, that it' VLC's own format, not sure 100%.
