Ivo,

Many thanks for this good explanation. I had already tried it with the
'-playlist' option, but this lets mplayer cycle through many URL without
any luck. The problem with all this is that non-tech users (like my
columbian wife) are lost with that. I've installed her a nice FreeBSD
desktop with KDE and all stuff for DVD, CD, web-tv (teleSUR) but
every time when she hits some new stuff in Internet, like the above
radio station of her country, she gets lost (and as you see, me too :-)

If you dump down the source with

$ lynx -dump -source http://www.tropicanafm.com/envivo.asp

you will see one URL as:

  src="http://audio.grupolatinoderadio.com/envivo.ASX?EMI=COTROPI"

and a second dump of this gives:

$ lynx -dump -source 'http://audio.grupolatinoderadio.com/envivo.ASX?EMI=COTROPI'

<Asx Version = "3.0"> 
<Entry> 
<title>Tropicana Estereo - Colombia</title>
<Ref href = "http://66.175.96.10/cotropi" />
<duration value="00:30:00.000">
</Entry>
</Asx>

I'm asking me (and all) if there is a tool which presents in some window,
or in an alpha XTerm, the URL's to follow and you may page-down through
them to get where you want?

Ok, if not I've to instruct my columbian girl to use Lynx :-)
