I’m listening to a remix (“streaming”) and I’m browsing the site and find something else I want to listen to, but I want to finish listening to the current track (it’s more than 3 minutes, hurrah!) before that starts.
Without downloading the tracks (I don’t know if I like them yet), is there a way to tell my audio player (VLC, but happy to use any other [on Mac]) to add the next tune to the current playlist rather than start the new track immediately? I’ll have another look at xmms which may be able to do this (but stopped working after an OS update recently). Any tips gratefully received. I hate to say it, but a Flash based player on the site would help here… |

Sorry I just do not know xmms but it should be able to stream over http. I do know on Windows that MusicMatch will queue and foobar (as far as I can tell) does not.
We experimenting now with a Flash player and playlists are coming at some point. |

Got something working with xmms!
Step by step guide if you’re interested: Lines beginning with % are the unix commandline. Set up this alias (this is tcsh style - you’ll need to modify it for other shells): % alias m3uq ‘xmms -e `curl -O \!^; ls -1tr *.m3u | tail -1`’ Start xmms playing something. Copy the URL of the next “stream” you want to play then run the new command with this URL: % m3uq PASTE_URL_HERE Notes: The curl trick is needed because xmms doesn’t seem to want to enqueue URLs. |
