Re: Live365 and having to register???

[Kelly Pierce]

yes, I think you described the current state of affairs.  to listen to 
Live365, one must register at the site, similar to registering at a 
newspaper website in order to read that particular paper.  when you 
register, you can choose the preferred media player to listen to Live 365 
stations, such as winamp.  once you register, Live 365 places a cookie on 
your computer so your registration information is obtained automatically.

some audio streams do this to track listenership, as royalty payments are 
based on how many listeners are listening to a particular song and how long 
they listen to the song.  We have bill Clinton to thank for this scheme as 
he signed the digital Millennium copyright Act.  also, aggregated listener 
information allows for better selling of airtime to advertisers.
