I found that on some sites such as shoutcast.com, the file passed to freeamp doesn't end in .pls. I made a script /usr/local/bin/lynxfreeamp arg1 arg2 which just adds the extention arg2 to the file arg1, then runs freeamp with the new file, then deletes the file when finished. Script below. #cut here# #!/bin/bash mv $1 $1.$2 freeamp $1.$2 rm $1.$2 #cut here# Then I just use '/usr/local/bin/lynxfreeamp %s extention' where 'extention' is the extention the file should have when sent to freeamp.
