What other "many command line > programs" could you be talking about? If the Wikipedia page about M3U is accurate then the m3u8 file will just be a text file including a URL to an audio stream. If it's an MP3 audio stream, then that can probably be copied manually to use with any common command-line MP3 player (I use mpg123 or mpg321). But that BBC URL gives me 403 Forbidden, so I guess it's region restricted and as such I haven't seen for myself. Indeed I don't think I've seen a M3U(8) file before. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
