formats (MP3 or OGG). In the <linkxref="config_apps">Apps</link> section of the
<linkxref="configuration">settings dialog</link>, you can associate one player
with each audio file (MIME) type. Per default this is audacious, but you can use any other
with each audio file (MIME) type. Nowadays you can often configure the same player
media player (like VLC).</p> for all audio (and even video) types.</p><note><p>Note however that some audio players will run multiple instances and won't allow simple station switching. In such situations it might be sensible to write a wrapper script, or configure special commandline arguments to your favoured audio player (e.g. "vlc --one-instance").</p></note><p>It's also possible to save a station entry as .m3u or .pls file, and load this manually in your player.
