Streaming radio with Linux - how?
Discussion
Just tried to listen to Wales Rally GB radio and I can't find an application that will open/play it.
Tried the usual apps that I have installed - Mplayer, Amarok, Xine and XMMS.
Sorry but I'm still learning Linux..........very slowly

If you've picked Gentoo to learn Linux on you'll get fed up with it before you realise how ace it is.
I'd start again with either Ubuntu or openSUSE, both are a piece of piss to use and you'll have them installed and doing everything you could possibly want in about 30 minutes tops.
You'll probably find on your install that the repositories for community packages have not been enabled/added which is why you aren't getting any success. I don't know enough about Gentoo to tell you how to fix that. On Ubuntu they're there out of the box, on SUSE you have to push a button first to enable them but it asks you if you want to do that during the install.
