This works ok as I have Mplayerplugin installed. I'm only on dialup, but the hourly newscast plays ok, and so does the NPR Program Stream. I've been on sites that give you the choice of Realplayer, or Wm. Sometimes one works , and the other doesn't. I think you just have to go with the one that works. For me, as long as I can hear some speech, or some music, I couldn't care less if it's using Realplayer, Windows media player, Flash, or whatever. Saying that though, I've just tried to play music from the site, and as I've said. I am on dialup, and am just getting 1 or 2 seconds of music at a time, followed by some buffering, then a bit more music. Too much bandwidth needed for the music, but speech works ok. Nigel.
