Dennis,

They say no, but it just may turn out to be what you said, another crash and burn for Live365.

In the mean time, I've been having a great time experimenting with Shoutcast, Spinner, and Radio Free Virgin. WinAmp's shoutcast has lots of choices and good quality. But I have difficulty playing the high quality reliably on my 128k ISDN, even when it says for dual ISDN. And the quality of the stream drops dramatically at the 56k mark.

OTH, Radio Free Virgin has limited (but good) channels, but very high sound quality at the setting of DSL-ISDN. And I have no problem playing it without interruption.

I've not been able to get Spinner to play anything without interruption for very long. They've got lots of channels that look great, but I haven't had the patience to sample many. Maybe I need to download their player rather than using the browser applet.

That's it from my corner of internet radio.
