[P1] OT: do i have to use wmp or realplayer?

[Fran]

I have a radio show that I listen to, they did have 12 types of 
streams, including Real...
Recently they dropped all but one and are pushing everyone to get 
Winamp3. I was assuming (yeah, I know..) that Winamp was a M$ creation, 
so I did not d/l it. When I clicked on the link on the website to 
listen, iTunes popped up and took over and I could listen through 
that...AMAZING! I went and checked out the Winamp site and it says it 
is a
Nullsoft product...anyone have any experience with them??

Thanks,

Fran

BTW: my iBook is back the battery fits ok, it still does not have the 
smooth lines but at least it'll seat & lock without any struggle. I am 
now testing it's stamina...

If you're not outraged,
you're not paying attention!
