I'm sure it's possible, but what is the best way to stream radio stations using XBMC? I'm running the latest version and its working great but would like to stream channels such as:

http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/Show.asx?StreamID=1

Any suggestions welcomed.

Also is it possible to still view movie trailers or has this feature been removed, I can download all clip art etc but cannot find the trailers/

I'm not sure how you can add that specific feed, but I just figured out how to get Shoutcast, and thought I'd share that.

from home menu, go into music.

click on add source

click browse

select Shoutcast

you'll see a list of genres, etc. don't select any. Just click OK at bottom.

then click add, then ok.

You should then be able to browse through all the shoutcast genres and play the stations.

Create a file called "some_meaningful_name.strm" conatining the single line:

http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/Show.asx?StreamID=1

and drop the file into one of the folders XBMC looks at or what I did is create a new source to the folder with my strm files. The strm file appears in file view (I'm not sure how you get to it in Library mode) and playing it opens the stream. Note that XBMC uses a pessimitically large buffer so it will take a while to start playing.
