upgrading to Rhythmbox 0.5.4 should fix this bug. here are some messages from changelog: - Use Ogg Vorbis for internet radio if compiled without MP3 support [Colin Walters] - Hardcode use of mad/vorbisfile/flacdec, until spider works [Colin Walters] - More default internet radio stations [Nadav Rotem] please upgrade to Rhythmbox 0.5.4
Yeah, Colin and I spent time yesterday straightening this out. I'll update as soon as I can get it to build on x86_64.
