RFM online radio on OSX

Oh man, do I love OSX or what? I’ve been trying for ages to get a Portuguese radio stream (RFM) to work on ubuntu (no luck with rhythmbox, or even firefox for that matter). It might be related to the fact that they use an .asx stream (windows stuff, ouch).

But here comes Apple to the rescue; It turns out that VLC (VideoLan Player) under OSX manages to play this stream properly (btw, here it is: http://www.rfm.pt/live/streamnew_rfm.asx). I can finally listen to some Portuguese news in Amsterdam :)

As a related note: Get well soon Steve; Apple needs you!
