Entity won't spawn

[lorde banana]

[lua]local radio = ents.Create("radio_hits")
radio:SetPos(Vector(980,-3565,695))
radio:Spawn()[/lua]

The location of init.lua for the radio is addons/radio/lua/entities/radio_hits/init.lua, so I assume the entity create would be "radio_hits". I am getting an error about a null entity on the second line...what am I doing wrong?

Ok, now I am getting "radio_hits is an unknown entity type!"

Ok, got it spawning now. It just won't stream music. Here's the code.

Are you sure the HTML control knows how to handle .asx files?

Not sure, found this code lying around. Not exactly Lua-smart here.

Any links/examples/suggestions?

Use the bass module.
