CLI radio streaming clients

Hi,

I'm trying to find a decent radio streaming client that works from command line. I currently use radiotray. After a lot of search I still cant find anything that can do the job. Does something like this exist?

Thanks in advance.

I have vlc installed and just use its command line component "cvlc".

Wouldn't it be just as easy to make a simple script or even .bashrc aliases to play streams, using as mentioned cvlc with options, or "mplayer -playlist"?

Hmm, I just use mpd+ncmpcpp for that.

Could you please give some examples of how radio stations from shoutcast.com can be heard using cvlc?

I'm trying to listen to radio stations from shoutcast.com. Could you please give some examples how mplayer can be used to do the same?

I was missing that as well.

So I wrote Radio Playing Daemon
Nowadays RPD is fully merged into the Remote Mplayer Client/Daemon which I'd suggest since you can play all kinds of media with that, not limited to radio streams.

Ok I got it figured out. Thanks a lot for all the assistance. I'm now using mplayer to get the job done. Didn't know it would be that simple.
