Listen HitFM on Linux (Ubuntu and Fedora )

Listening HitFm from web page is not convenient as it force to open new browser window - that make inconvenience for window switching and .... .

1. Get URL for using it your Radio listen application
http://www.hitfm.ua/HitFM.m3u

Note:
if you have problem with that url , it myght be that HitFm changed it, so go to http://www.hitfm.ua/ press "Слушать радио", in newly appeared window look at links below "Слушайте Хiт FM у себя на компьютере:" copy URL from "Быстрый интернет (128 kb/s)"

2. I used default application in Ubuntu and Fedora - Rythmbox.
Add new radio by pressing "New Internet Radio Station ..." in context menu over "Radio" item in Library (left panel).

3. press "Play".

Note:
For Fedora be sure that you installed support for mp3 format, it is not installed by default - steps to install.
For Ubuntu you need to install Restricted codes(mp3,.....) " sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras".
