Listen to the radio.

[wavemaker]

Gooday all, I have Kubuntu 7.1.0 and am trying to listen to an old broadcast on my local radio stations web sit. It wants to install Real Player, but I cant load the necessary plug-ins. Any ideas what I should do here? TiA. James.

helix-player
mozilla-helix-player
