23 Thanks Dale, very kind of you to look into this for me. I actually want to
24 stream from (listen to internet radio), not stream to a server.

26 Previous versions of vlc had a Service Discovery option which would tune in to
27 shoutcast/icecast servers to list and listen to their streams. This has now
28 been removed. A really good feature was that you could search for music of
29 your liking by genre and different servers would show up to allow you to
30 connect and listen.
