Probably because there is a .pls file being returned, and MADNewton
does not parse those. Also, I think that behind many URLs in iTunes,
there is actually either a .pls or .m3u file as well.

If you don't mind using the Terminal, you can use curl to get the
file, and then look inside for the actual URL.

Here is one URL which points directly to the stream:

http://gffstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream/gffstream_gffstream4

In the long run, it would probably be best if MADNewton would know
how to deal with .m3u and .pls files and handle redirects as well :/
