Hi Al!   
      
    BM> Did a Google Search for "Music Radio".  One of the options that came up   
    BM> was to Pandora Radio (that name sounds dangerous -- if I see a GK or   
    BM> whatever a Greece source is....!!).  Think it's www.Pandora.com,   
    BM> otherwise 72.14.203.104.  Can create your own radio station ==> music   
    BM> styles.  Not sure how it's doing it or where the music is coming from   
    BM> but so far not too bad!   
      
    AI> This is something I haven't used much. In linux I use amarok   
    AI> (similar but not the same as WMP). In the playlist menu there is   
    AI> an option for radio station and podcasts. It needs some kind of   
    AI> url but I'm not sure what to put in there. If you ever have your   
    AI> live cd running you could try it out. xmms (still looks like the   
    AI> original winamp) also can play streams though I haven't tried it.   
      
   And here I thought you had all the answers!   The "problem" may be in   
   the source, or the way it's listed.  Had been listening to "WOLF FM"   
   (www.wolffm.com) -- think I found it originally playing around with   
   music searches but never was able to find it again.  (They offer a   
   desktop icon which loads a small window with some advertising.  This   
   then starts up WMP.  You can then close the first window and WMP   
   continues the connection.   
      
   Pandora (www.Pandora.com) doesn't seem to have the desktop loader thing   
   - so far have been running Firefox typing in the address, let it load   
   the Pandora stuff and minimize the window to show the curret and   
   previous two songs.  Presume *NIX's browser woul dbe able to do the   
   same.  (But will their software run under *NIX?) ....   
      
      
      
   Q: What is required to use Pandora?   
      
   Pandora works on Windows 2000 and XP with Internet Explorer 6 and   
   Firefox. It also works on the MacOS X 10.3+ with Safari and Firefox.   
   Flash 7 or 8 is required (8 recommended). We recommend a machine with at   
   least a 1Ghz processor and 256M of RAM. You'll also need speakers or   
   headphones. Older desktop computers may need a sound card. A broadband   
   Internet connection is required; dialup is not supported.   
   Q: What bitrate is the music you play?   
      
   We play 128Kbps streams. Pandora requires a broadband Internet   
   connection.
