They really did.  I had to go find the (windows) free one for a friend
who couldn't get past the ads.

Take a look at the contents of that resource (use wget or vim) :

rtsp://go.rbn.com/smc/smc/g2demand/hob/real/internetradio/labelshowcase/motownrecords2-100.rm

That's the real URL for the live stream.

Download the file to the local disk (or just slap that rtsp: line in a
local file) and you can open it directly in real player.

My preference is to 
    1)  grab rmxmms :

        $ mkdir -p ~/.xmms/Plugins
        $ cd ~/.xmms/Plugins
        $ wget ftp://ftp.xmms.org/xmms/plugins/rmxmms/libreal.so

    2)  add the stream to my playlist

        $ echo $RTSP_URL >> ~/.xmms/xmms.m3u

    3)  play xmms

        $ xmms

any time you need to deal with non-interoperable, buggy and/or adware
apps.


FYI KLove is a good radio station (IMO) :

rtsp://a1117.l571959058.c5719.g.lr.akamaistream.net/live/D/1117/5719/v0001/reflector:59058
