Just as long as the stream isn't proprietary and has to use a webpage
embeded player (plugin) to listen. WSB did that; I mentioned to them
that they should provide an alternate stream, even selected 'Linux' as
my OS on their feedback form, for those of us that can't use what they
are "offering." They replied back saying something to the effect of "We
do not currently offer alternate streams but may do so in the future."

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
