Hello Stang, >RealPlayer G2 and MP3 songs: > Its seems to support it now.(streaming mp3) How lame! I click the link, download the component (this is a very cool feature of G2) and then get this super lame advertisement on my screen from the losers at BitCasting ... then after a long delay I get an even more lame notice that I need some more crap from Microsoft (DirectMedia v6) for it to work! Lame, lame, lame ... Scott C. Lemon

Hello all, On another note ... about MP3 ... The makers of WinAMP ... the premiere MP3 player ... have now created their competing streaming technology. shoutcast.com ShoutCast is an awesome network and client/server technology, built on the "fad" and "hype" of MP3s ... and I think it's going to work. I'm still in RNWK and will be for a while, but I think that ShoutCast is going to give RealNetworks a run for their money. RealNetworks are fools for not supporting MP3 directly with a strong offering! The momentum is growing quickly ... Just my opinion ... Scott C. Lemon
