As a workaround, you can try this: > wget -q -O - http://france-info1.creacast.com/france-info.mp3 | mplayer -cache 2048 - Does it work with e.g. WinAmp? They use some custom shoutcast clone that unfortunately is horribly broken, e.g. it expect the whole HTTP header to be in a single TCP packet (i.e. impossible to test with telnet). It also treats "Icy-MetaData: 0" as "Icy-MetaData: 1" You can either modify stream/network.c to remove the line with Icy-MetaData or hack the binary via e.g. sed -e 's/Icy-MetaData: 1/Xcy-MetaData: 0/' < mplayer > mplayermod Then it plays, but no metadata then.
