You can save that link by right-clicking on the button and chosing
'Save Link As...'. Then feed the saved file (listen.pls) to mplayer
like this:
mplayer -playlist listen.pls
Next time you want to listen to it, you don't even need firefox
(assuming the link in list.pls doesn't change often).
Once you copy this link as described above just about any player should take it....
Rhythmbox is entered either
File -> Playlist -> Load from file... -> listen.pls [or any other pls file you have] or...
If you "Copy link address", usually just below the save option, you can
Library -> Radio -> Add
which will self populate the copied url. Hit return and enjoy the station.
VLC is similar with the copy url option...
Media -> Open file -> listen.pls
Media -> Open location from clipboard [hotkey= ctrl+v]
Parole Media player failed the open location option under Media with a Gstreamer backend error but...
Media -> Open -> listen.pls [from the saved file]
work just fine.
I tested these with your link, nice station btw, and am just establishing a pattern. Look into your favorite app for listening and either open the saved *.pls file or open link option and copy from clipboard. Either way works in most cases. I download my list of favorite station on DI.fm and others into a .pls file and this allows me to load all my stations at once in Rhythmbox making recovery a breeze if I have to rebuild. HTH.
