Listening to the Radio with my Bookmarks

[Lyla]

I'd like to bookmark some radio stations.

The problem is that when I'm opening a link to the selected radio station, it gets opened in the web browser
Is there any way to open a streaming radio in an external applications, like VLC Media Player?

In Firefox3 there will be an option for this one
But still, some of the Streaming Radio links are http:// (no mms://)

Classical KUSC

Code: Select all

http://128.125.204.54:2345/kuscaudio96.mp3 http://128.125.204.54:2345/kuscaudio.mp3

Or just an http:// that splits to a few mms://s

For istance, there is an Israeli radio station (Kol Hamusica) that:

Code: Select all

http://switch3.castup.net/cunet/gm.asp?ai=31&ar=Kol_Hamusica ├─mms://s4bwm.castup.net/990310008-52.wmv?ct=IL&rg=BZ&aid=31&st=0&ts=0&cu=4BCFBC28-FF65-4B6A-8E48-484A02CD899F ├─mms://s4awm.castup.net/990310008-52.wmv?ct=IL&rg=BZ&aid=31&st=0&ts=0&cu=4BCFBC28-FF65-4B6A-8E48-484A02CD899F ├─mms://s39wm.castup.net/990310008-52.wmv?ct=IL&rg=BZ&aid=31&st=0&ts=0&cu=4BCFBC28-FF65-4B6A-8E48-484A02CD899F ├─mms://s34wm.castup.net/990310008-52.wmv?ct=IL&rg=BZ&aid=31&st=0&ts=0&cu=4BCFBC28-FF65-4B6A-8E48-484A02CD899F └─mms://s36wm.castup.net/990310008-52.wmv?ct=IL&rg=BZ&aid=31&st=0&ts=0&cu=4BCFBC28-FF65-4B6A-8E48-484A02CD899F

I'd like to save the http:// only, without all the subordinates mms://s


So, do you know a URI_scheme that fits for this kind of situation?
I want to open a link to a streaming media via a one click on a bookmark (and that is should be opened in an external app)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

sorry for triple posting

If the solution that I'm looking for doesn't exist, then I really hope that you'll implement such thing in the future.

And if you do, then do it wisely, cause you're not letting me to associate mms:// etc. etc. and cause of this I see this ugly massage (thank god that mozilla did something with it in FF3)
