In this case it's a common workaround to write <span class="code">pkill vlc ; vlc %u</span> instead,
which ends the previous player process and starts it anew.
For VLC there's however also the <span class="code">--one-instance</span> option, which sometimes
works better. (And sometimes not.)</p>
<p class="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 class="p">Listed audio players get run with a streaming server address (URL).
These can either be direct MP3/Ogg servers (<span class="var">http://example.org:7843/</span>)
and sometimes playlist files (<span class="var">http://example.org/listen.pls</span>)
- depending on the channel directory.</p>
