Monaural Streams

If you like listening in monaural, I was tuning across the AM band recently (3rd attempt at audio based mole eradication project) landing on KBRD AM 680. "This sounds annoying enough". After day, "They're playing some pretty fun stuff!". Anyway, thought I'd share here - KBRD Radio AM 680 - America's musical museum playing music of the 1st half of the 20th century

"Whether you like piano rolls, pre-1920 cylinders, 78s from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s or early 45s and mono LPs, this is your station. Broadcasting on AM 680 with the full audio spectrum. On the internet we stream in the original monaural not wasting bandwidth. Better than CD quality."

I'd like to stream them through my rPi player. Digging out their stream URL I get something like http://205.134.192.90:680. Works when I plug it into the LMS "Tune In" URL.

Enjoy - and please add your URL for other Monaural Streams you know!
 
I tried mpg123, mplayer and cvlc and all worked. The command syntax is simply:
Code:
mpg123 [url]http://205.134.192.90:680[/url]
mplayer [url]http://205.134.192.90:680[/url]
cvlc [url]http://205.134.192.90:680[/url]

P.S.:
I would extend the thread to include other types of streams, but this requires the OP's approval, and the intervention of a moderator or an administrator.
