I get:

$  mpg123 -@ http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_radio2_mf_p
High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layers 1, 2 and 3
        version 1.14.4; written and copyright by Michael Hipp and others
        free software (LGPL/GPL) without any warranty but with best wishes
HTTP request failed: 404 File Not Found
[playlist.c:271] error: Invalid playlist from http_open()!
