Is there a free software radio player available, which now I have broadband, I can install?
XMMS will play radio streams, but if you want the full iTunes experience I'd go for http://www.rhythmbox.org/ (Gnome) or http://amarok.kde.org/ (KDE) to manage your music files as well as play radio streams.

I have recently discovered Amarok.
I must say that KDE users who (like me) are fed up with the xmms "Be like a piece of stereo equipment" interface should really take the time to check it out.
The latest releases are now at 1.x and they have recently added some really nice features.
(unfortunately I am stuck at a pre 1.0 release until I solve some KDE dependencies)

Hmmmn, reminds me a bit of rhythmbox (which i don't use as it doesn't like NFS it seems) but I must ask after looking at the screen shots at http://amarok.kde.org/ why do people use weird visualisations? I mean, they look great for screenshots but in the real world does anyone actually use them?
Thanks Adam

Personally no, but generally I think they are quite popular
People like bling .... oooh look at the pretty pictures (forgetting the fact that the machine is now running like a lame dog because 80% of the CPU and Graphics Subsystem is busy rendering vis:Cosmic Blur or whatever)
The situation on Linux is slightly mitigated by the fact that generally the priority of the visualisations gets set pretty low.

XMMS can use MP3 streams, Kaffeine can use most streams (including Realaudio and Quicktime) also you can get the RealOne/Helix player.
Xine & MPlayer are other all-rounders.

XMMS can also play Ogg. I'm sure I've had it playing AVI too, with some plugin, once upon a time. Look at the Input plugins on www.xmms.org

No. Use a mail-client that understands the List-Post header and set its policy. GNUMail asks each time for now. Mozilla and mutt still need bugfixes. Can't remember about others and I'm probably out of date.

Beep music player appears nicer than xmms so far (more modern fork of xmms) http://beepmp.sourceforge.net/

Mutt probably shouldn't be considered broken as it handles lists very nicely (although you will need to configure this part, but then in some ways this allows greater control) and it has an added advantage of using different keystrokes to reply, group reply or reply to list so you shouldn't make mistakes ;)

Could you remind us what the key is in mutt? I can't see it in the help (going blind in my old age).
At least Gmail today seems to me to have list replies right for the first time.
Tim. (6 Gmail invites available if anyone is still after one)

r is reply g is group repley L is reply to list
but you do need to put something similar to
lists main@lists.alug.org.uk subscribe main@lists.alug.org.uk
in the Mutt config for this to work (or something, mutt.org covers the details)
