@Roni: Take a look at the 7th line from the bottom

>Server returned 500:Internal Server Error

It seems that the Galatz server has some errors occasionally, so it doesn’t seem to be a radio.py bug.

I’ll see if it’s possible to make radio.py retry playing a station if there is some error.

Guy,
First I must say that your code is wonderfully clear.
Your patch is working well, but some time it fails:

@Roni: I’ve posted an patch for radio.py 0.5 in http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2008/11/12/radiopy-station-list-patch/ that fixes the urls of Galgalatz, Galatz and Radius. Apply the patch and it should fix the problem. Please comment if you encounter further problems.

Thanks very much, now I can listen radio while working on my Linux workstation.

Very impressive .radiopy file. It’s nice to see people use and share those.

Cool!
For anyone interested I have a .radiopy-file with some (58) swedish radio stations here: http://henrikan.wordpress.com/2008/08/02/spela-och-spela-in-internetradio-fran-terminalen/
