In the Media menu:
Open Network Stream - after that, the url should be in the drop-down list.
Save Playlist to File - does what it says
Open File - the one you just made, and whatever you saved will play.

I don't understand what Stream does.

Audacious saves the url in a drop-down, too. I think you can do a similar thing with saving the playlist.

Yeah, i can try audacious too (i don't care for vlc, only needed an app to play streams of a german radio station).

nadir . . . have you noticed any stuttering with videos on vlc? It is a known issue with alsa output. I spent quite some time trying to fix it. Finally nuked the current "Weatherwax" version and installed "Two Flowers" from wheezy dmo repos. All is well now. Pisses me off that VLC was telling folks to use pulseaudio . . .
May the FORK be with you!

golinux: i didn't notice is, but because i don't watch videos in vlc (i only installed it to listen to the streams). Will try it as soon i find a video.

When using "save to file" i can't navigate to hidden folders (.config/vlc). How would i do that?
