You have to be aware o of the fact that Freeamp does not substitute Winamp, unfortunately. Yes, there is some initial error at startup, which says that you don't have ALSA installed or something like that. If you have more errors, it might be due to the fact that you don't have certain necesary libraries installed. Please quote the errors. Otherwise, Freeamp's usage is very simple: freeamp [whatever] Unfortunately, there is no way to have ACB Radio play automatically from a web browser. The reason for that is that .pls files are sent as a straight textand you cannot tell Linux to treat it otherwise. So, what one of the listers suggested is to save .pls files with Lynx and then load them with Freeamp on the command line. It works pretty fine. Regards, Vic
