Jude, this behavior has never happened on my end. Are you running Tiger or Leopard? I don't recall seeing this sort of thing in Tiger either?… I listen to streams on a regular basis, (am in and out of them all the time while on the computer) and don't need to do anything special at all to get ITunes to work. It just works. :)
I also have several playlists bookmarking streams. Smiles, Cara :) On Aug 8, 2008, at 5:21 PM, Jude DaShiell wrote:
The only things I don't like about listening to streams are:1) after listening you have to do all first aide tasks in disk utility and shut down your computer with the power button then start your computer again in order for iTunes ever to show its screen or play anything again.2) So far as I know, iTunes cannot yet turn those live streams into bookmarks for us yet.

I just listened to the LightHouse presentation on affordable tech, with it. It was held in San Francisco today and was streamed live over the web, so asI'm in LA, I caught it that way.In Itunes, there is an option in the Advanced menu which will bring up adialogue where you can type in a direct url to open a stream.As for podcasts, -iTunes again; I have *very* many casts that I'm subbed to, and, as I have limited time most days, I have far too many to keep up with all at once. ITunes allows me to really quickly and easily search and isolate only the casts I'd like to go through to see if there's anything I'd like to listen to for a few minutes or pick up where I left off on one. I would *definitely not* want to try to arrange that much material myself!lol! So, for me, ITunes is a great solution. Hope this helps and have an awesome weekend!.

If not, would you use something like vlc or something similar? Also what do you all use to listen to podcasts on the mac? Is it Itunes or do you all use something else?
