If they don't have better things to do but to track that type of thing,
what does it matter, they spam most of us full of junk we don't want
anyway. It seems that my 26.4 connection I obtain with my 56k modem won't
pull in a realaudio stream too well anyway, at least shows like computalk,
doctor laura, etc. I can get shoutcast streams, for the most part, with
little or no breakup, although those streams have low sound quality,
especially music. Main menu is good though, I can listen to it with only a
breakup or two when I first turn it on, and clear as ever after that. I
just downloaded real so I could play files I may receive in real format, or
to compare it to freeamp or mpg123, but of course the two free players seem
better in my opinion for mp3, although now I'm experimenting with the
listen program of icecast because it prebuffers, but it often stops playing
a ways after I start.
