Irish Radio Stations on Linux

UPDATED VERSION AVAILABLE:Â https://www.barryodonovan.com/index.php/2013/02/12/irish-radio-stations-on-linux-2013

I’m a bit of a newstalk junky and like to have the radio on in the back ground. It’s quite painful jumping between websites and even more painful getting them all to work under Linux so I have some simple Bash aliases for VLC and RTE Radio 1, Today FM and Newstalk:

alias 2fm='cvlc http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/live/radio/2fm.asx'
alias newstalk='cvlc http://newstalk.fmstreams.com:8008/listen.pls'
alias rteradio1='cvlc http://dynamic.rte.ie/av/live/radio/radio1.asx'
alias todayfm='cvlc http://audiostore.todayfm.com/audio/todayfmIRL_64K.asx'

UPDATED 2011-02-07: 2FM added.
