I use Guayadeque Music Player which I believe is in the Ubuntu repository.. One of the options under the Radio tab is "User Defined" . Right click on it and click on "+ add radio". Type in name that you want to call it and use the aac url below:
Radio 1 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r1_aaclca.pls Radio 2 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r2_aaclca.pls Radio 3 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r3_aaclca.pls Radio 4 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4_aaclca.pls Radio 5 http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r5l_aaclca.pls 6 Music http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r6_aaclca.pls Radio 1xtra http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r1x_aaclca.pls Radio 4 Extra http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4x_aaclca.pls Radio 5 Live Sports Extra http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r5lsp_aaclca.pls Asian Network http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/ran_aaclca.pls
I use Mint Cinnamon which has Banshee installed by default. Just hit Media|Open Location and entered one of the URLs above. Worked a treat! Thanks for the pointer.
Just checked, and VLC can do it too.
Cheers, Laurie.
