I tried Open With with each of RealPlayer, Winamp, and VLC. None of that worked to enable playing the streams from links in a Web page. However, the Open With launch whatever application I indicated and played the streaming broadcast from just the downloaded fragment of a file. Here are two links: <http://69.12.217.101:8000/listen.pls> -- KCEA, 89.1 FM, Atherton, CA <http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/KMZTFM.pls> -- KMZT, 1620 AM, Los Angeles, CA -- David E.
