Need help with Streamripper and Foobar

Hi ..

I have found a new thing .. I am old, so please forgive my ignorance.

This is the URL ..

http://grooveshark.com/#!/monkeyboy37/broadcast

or something like it. But I see that it may change .. so that may be an issue. But I am sure I can find some content. I am more working on getting it working right now.

I really do not understand how this streaming works, so need help. 

I can play this URL in my browser and it plays fine, but I am not aware that I can play streams in Foobar ?  If so how ?

So this is what I have in RunServices .. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamripper\streamripper.exe"  http://grooveshark.com/#!/monkeyboy37/broadcast -r -z -t -s -d "C:\Users\Kevin.Win8\Desktop\StreamMusic"

But nothing happens.  I made a button to run this service in foobar.

Can someone help me out ..

EDIT .. OK, I have figured out that I can do the USE LOCATION, but I get "Unsupported format".

So .. I would need to figure that out first before moving on to the StreamRipper issue above.

You can't play grooveshark in any player, because this is not real stream.
This is web player, with hiden .mp3...
You must make plugin for this, if this service allow or have some API.
On Html page i didn't see any URL that point to mp3 m3u file, or can be used as stream in foobar.
This is secure stream and it's hiden..
If i'm wrong, or others know some solution how to make plugin for grooveshark i would like to hear, because i was previously wanted grooveshark or jango plugin, but then i found that is better to use foo_youtube.dll and make Youtube Radio, which i did..

Ok .. thanks I will look into YouTube radio and wait to see if someone comes up with a stream that I can play in Foobar.

I am mainly interested in older music .. as I am old.

I found out how to play the Shoutcast stream .. and that works ok.

Now .. the StreamRipper part .. I tried it and nothing happens.  I am using the command below.  I am new to Foobar and not sure if that is right ?

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Streamripper\StreamRipper.exe" %path%  -r -z -t -s -d "C:\Users\Kevin.Win8\Desktop\StreamMusic"

It's not ''StreamRipper.exe'' it's ''streamripper.exe''

I'm use this: "C:\Program Files\foobar2000 xch4\@USER\streamripper\streamripper.exe" %path% -s -t -i -d C:\Users\mire\Desktop\stream

Ok . . thanks. I will try that. That probably would be a perfectly good reason why.
