That worked for me in VLC also, though it resolved out to 
mms://bdcast-greatermedia-wmgk-fm.wm.llnwd.net/bdcast_greatermedia_wmgk-fm?MSWMExt=.asf 
and took a while to buffer and start.

Neither one worked in Rhythmbox (Gutsy); in fact they both locked it up. 
  Both of these work in Rhythmbox though:

http://smoothjazz.com/streams/smoothjazz_128.ram

In fact, ANY station owned by CBS will work as:
http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/ {call letters}{AM|FM|HD2} 
DIALUP.pls

See http://forums.slimdevices.com/archive/index.php/t-34358.html for an 
interesting list.  Wikipedia also has amazing info on any/every radio 
station I've ever checked (81 last week or so).  And there are other 
lists of streaming stations (Google for them) that may allow you to 
"decode" the idiotic obfuscations some stations try to use.

Here's a partial M3U playlist we use on our MediaMVP (using F/OSS mvpmc 
firmware):

If anyone else has mvpmc, I can tell you a) how to set this up trivially 
and b) how to use it to decode many (not all) obfuscated URLs.  Any 
station using a Flash player or some Windows only ones just won't work. 
  But enough will decode into .pls to make it worth while.

Later,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
