You can use winamp with Wine i think. Install Wine from the Ubuntu Software Center and then install the Windows version of Winamp.

If you want to listen to the station you mentioned to need to install the flashplugin-installer and the Java plugin. Click on Application > Ubuntu Software Center, in the new window that pops up type flash in the search field and double click on the Adobe Flash plugin, use the same method to install the Java plugin (Sun Java 6.0 plugin). Install the plugins, go to the website via Firefox, click on the "Listen Online" link and under the tab there may be a warning bar that appears stating that "Firefox prevented this site from opening a window," click on the Preferences button and select the option that say "Show http://www.klove.com...", a window should open and you should hear the music playing.

hi :)

To sort out most multimedia issues in one easy go please work through the Medibuntu worksheet
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

Usually i just open "Movie Player" (of course ! lol ;) ) and then look through the options in the sidebar when Totem opens

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi :)

If you installed the Adobe Flash Player using the Software Centre & it didn't work then i would try downloading from the Adobe web-site

http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

Usually i would always say to only use the one from the package managers. Always avoid downloading random stuff even from legitimate looking websites. That's 1 reason why Windows is so vulnerable to malware. At least Linux does have the package managers so that we can use the safer route.

Oddly i just tried to install the one from the Adobe site and got an error message saying my currently installed version is more recent than the one on their site. To me that just further proves that sticking with Ubuntu's package managers is the best plan. I prefer "Synaptic Package Manager rather than Software Centre but they all use the same databases, sources (repositories) and pretty much everything else too so it's just a question of personal taste. Great to have a choice tho!! :)

If that doesn't work then it might take a little work but shouldn't be too tough. On the top taskbar click on

System - Administration - Synaptic

and use either search tool to find "flash players". If the above has not sorted the problem then its usually 1 of 2 main reasons
1. Too many flash players cramping each others style
2. Not enough flash players

So, do you already have

adobe-flashplugin
gnash
swfdec-gnome

all already installed? If so try uninstalling the gnash one first. If you only have the adobe one then try installing the swf one. Please let us know which of those 3 were already installed and then please tell us which other combination you tried.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Can you help with this problem?
