hi:  a question about VLC - i am trying to use it to listen to a radio 
station that requires windows media player but haven't been able to get 
it to work.  for point of reference, here is the link -  
http://www.therandirhodesshow.com/streaming.html .   is this possible 
to do or am i not understanding what VLC is used for.   i also tried 
mplayer and could not get it to work.  thank you. eric
