Robert,
Yes I tried it and it doesn't work. Regarding your friend's suggestion,
perhaps it might work at times, but it looks quite a hassle to perform each
time you want to listen to a link. I have only one site from which I would
really like to listen in on which uses streaming Windows Media, and
invariably it will quit half way through the stream and then Windows tells
me the program is not responding and to End Program. I find Windows Media
player to be not only poor quality in some cases streaming, although that
might be the host server or streaming origin, but it just isn't reliable.
Thanks for your suggestion. I will keep it in case I get desperate
Brad
