Thanks, cool idea! I also found a way to avoid seing xterm windows:

Create a script file (e.g. "play.sh") like the following including the xterm command to be executed

Code:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"<link to your webradio / stream>"
exit 0

Change the Exec including sh command followed by the script file created, e.g.:
Code:
```
...
Exec=sh /home/user/play.sh
Terminal=false
...
```
