I'm looking for a way to (simply) play BBC Radio 4 and other BBC stations on my desktop machine. I used to use radiotray but updating to xubuntu 14.04 seems to have broken that completely (it was always a *bit* flakey).
I don't want a full blown music player really, though one that's easy to configure to play BBC would be OK. I *definitely* don't want a list of thousands of stations to select from which rarely includes BBC anyway, I just want to be able to enter a BBC radio URL and hear the radio.
I have clementine installed but I can't see how to get that to play URLs, it looks like it should but seems to be broken when you try it. Like so many other players I've found.
I have Mint installed and I just type in the BBC (usually cricket) URL, and, there it is.
What URL into what?
I.e. do you use a URL like http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_fourfm, and if so where do you type it into Clementine (if that's what you mean)?
