I think that's the problem. I just hooked up this shiny new 
monstrosity to our DSL and it plays right out of Windoze Internet 
Explorer. XP Professional, no less. Cartoonish interface IMHO.

If you like not the usual country music (American/Roots format) this 
station is pretty cool. Now if i can play them on my iBook, things 
will be groovy.
