OK, the first paragraph below, from the URL http://www.apple.com/quicktime/pro/faq.html sure makes it sound like Quicktime/iTunes/Apple-DRM isn't going anywhere any time soon. The second paragraph seems to suggest to me that there may be a way to do this, even if someone has to actually PAY for a plug-in (oh dear). Would that I were a programmer who knew more about streaming audio and the Slim and Apple plug-in interfaces... I'd give it a go, but two kids is plenty for now.
