RE: OT: Slimp3 and BBC Radio 1 Streaming File???

I’ve never quite understood why the BBC restrict their output to RealAudio only. Can anyone shed any light?

Ahh - BBC use RealAudio currently & you can't stream it to any of the players (SliMP3 / AT / Rio) - You can play it with the Real Player (obviously) or with WinAMP with the appropriate plug in. If you really must listen on your SliMP3 then you can bring the stream into WinAMP and output it to a local Shoutcast server on your network (or IceCast for *NIX) and then stream that to the player but the quality is poor due to the transcoding involved.
