[DM-MUG] Streaming news

[Bill Davis]

Which is strange, because both Real and WMP streaming are junk. 
ESPECIALLY WMP.  And I'm talking on either Mac or PC (worse on Mac).  
I've streamed a few things with Real from the BBC Radio 3 website (some 
of their jazz programs) and they were adequate, but the interface and 
reliability was pretty bad.  The only decent streaming I've ever seen 
is QuickTime.  Especially if it's video.

Thank heaven for podcasting.
