Hi Joe:

My experience was that you couldn't listen to streaming media, but then in a 
vibug discussion of the braille plus, I heard Amy indicate that she could 
listen to the aph cafe shows.  That's why I asked if radio shows could be heard 
on the device.  I tried opening those shows, but have not been able to listen 
to them.  I then tried saving them, but no luck either.

  Howdy,

  From my limited experience the Icon cannot support listening to those music 
files nor will it 
  support streaming radio.  Many of these files require the use of the Flash 
Player from 
  Adobe.
