Actually the amarok rpm for 9.2 is broken and does not play streams. I made an rpm that does play streams but I couldn't get the visualisations to compile:

If you don't need visualisations this should do it for you.

SuSE has already provided the updated RPMS on their mirrors for amarok which work just fine for streaming. It is true, the version provided in 9.2 is broken for such things, I stayed after the amarok developers for several days about the streaming problem in IRC. I suspect many others did too. ;o)

Ok I'm running 9.2. I updated KDE and then loaded amarok-1.1.1-5. Now when I use Konqueror to open yp.shoutcast.com and pick a station to play Konqueror uses RealPlayer 10 to play it, not Amarok. Under the File menu RealPlayer 10 shows the playlist played like this: 9306.0.shoutcast-playlist.pls. When I add this url 'yp.shoutcast.com' in the 'add media' text window of Amarok I get this stdoutput: yp.shoutcast.com (?). When I use the url: yp.shoutcast.com/9306.0.shoutcast-playlist.pls, Amarok says 'the playlist yp.shoutcast.com/9306.0.shoutcast-playlist.pls could not be downloaded'. I still haven't been able to play a stream with Amarok. What am I missing here? Also the configure dialogue for Konqueror doesn't allow me to pick which application to use to play a stream. Where is this option set? Thanks, Jerome
