Why it is not possible to stream 106fm with a player different from Amarok or Rythminbox

[Arie Skliarouk]

The URL points to ASX playlist, that is not always properly recognized as
such.

To be able to listen to the stream using mplayer, you need to specify that
the URL is a playlist:

mplayer -playlist '
http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?format=wm&ak=42191714&ClipMediaID=20853
'
