Not "our" Netradio, but Radio buttons nontheless.

I am dinkin' around with it right now and here's what I've been able to discover. It connects to Broadcast.com for the selection of radio stations, and it uses Microsoft's multimedia player, not RealAudio. At this point, it doesn't look like we can connect to Navr's Netradio at all using this device. But I would think it would be in MS best interest to open things up a little.

At this point, all it means is that netradio is hot, very hot, and getting hotter with each new download of MSIE.5. If I were Paulsen, I would make sure and take this road show to Seattle. Post Haste. They may want to pick up a piece of the NETR pie. Heck, they may just want to mack the whole seafood enchilada.

PS: Things NOT to like: The spinning E/Globe in the corner has been replaced with a pulsing red MSN bloodclot. Looks like shit. The quality of the feed from broadcast.com sucks bigtime. Constant popping in and out and the entire websurfing experience is degraded by slower performance. IMO, Netradio (NETR) Is MUCH, MUCH, better.
