How to Listen to Streaming Radio on Ubuntu

Ok so I wanted to listen to Highveld radio on Ubuntu. Only problem was their website only seemed to catered for Windows. So after some digging I found the mms stream URL and gave it a try with:
mplayer mms://196.35.64.36/highveld_22
but got this:
connect error: Connection refused
No stream found to handle url mms://196.35.64.36/highveld_22

So I just changed it to:
mplayer http://196.35.64.36/highveld_22

and we're in business :-)
