I think it's important to distinguish between stations here as well.
Stations which only exist online generally understand how the internet
works and understand that they need to make their content easily
available to a wide range of software and devices. Take a look at
someone like di.fm, nice easy mp3 streams with pretty static URLs. On
the other hand you have conventional radio companies who have decided
to have an internet stream and often they just don't get it. They
assume (or prefer) that everyone gets their stream using the (IE only)
embedded player in their website full of ads. They see the site as the
money maker and the stream as the lure to get you there. They actually
don't want you to listen from your SB3 or whatever, so they have no
interest in making it easy for you. I look forward to their demise :)
