Well, your recent discussion of Rythmbox reminded me that I liked to
hear music from:

http://www.Luckysevenradio.com

Unfortunately I am unable & the error popup tells me that I do not have
the decoder to play it !?
Is there a solution to get it working and what do I do ???

Already checked XMMS plugins and got drowned about all these !!! ;-)

Any advice and guidance is very appreciated.

TIA and cheers,
