Thank you for that! I was struggling with the –no-splash option but that is working better.

Comment on Things that I Hate, Part I: Download links that aren’t by Joe Philipps

NIC1138: that’s pretty simple, at least in the pls case. That’s a playlist, and it CAN (but sometimes isn’t) set up so that your software tries several sources for the media. That way if one server is down, the software will either time out (server totally “gone”) or move on to the next quickly (server daemon not running so you get ICMP port unreachable (connection refused)), thus a crude form of redundancy. However, more than once this has also been used for a beg-intro (like some public radio stations that stream).

So THIS is how I get rid of that “Type C-l to begin…” crap! I thought I was going to go insane! what a frakken misfeature. Thank you for that. What’s more, Google came up with only two pages on the literal string; hopefully now, it’ll see this one as well!!

That is really annoying. Something else that I hate is how audio and video files can’t never be simply there as a regular file, but always inside some nitty witty player applet, or inside those pls files… Why can’t people simply let the files be transfered, and end of story??…
