<title>Audio players</title>
<p>On BSD/Linux systems there are a plethora of audio players. In streamtuner2 you can
<link xref="configuration">configure</link> most of them as target application. Mostly it makes sense to use a single
application for all audio formats. But at least the */* media type should be handled
by a generic player, like vlc.</p>

For VLC there's however also the <code>--one-instance</code> option, which sometimes
works better. (And sometimes not.)</p>
<p>Some applications, like Rhythmbox or Banshee, are primarily playlist managers, not players,
and cannot be invoked with a station URL. This makes them less suitable for use with streamtuner2.
(Same goes for streamtuner2 itself. It's not a player, but just a playlist browser.)</p>

<p>Listed audio players get run with a streaming server address (URL).
These can either be direct MP3/Ogg servers (<var>http://example.org:7843/</var>)
and sometimes playlist files (<var>http://example.org/listen.pls</var>) |
