>From what I've seen, Clear Channel stations all use WMA streaming
which Kinoma will pick up. The BBC and Sporting News Radio use Real
player (for which there is no Treo option) but some stations do offer
a shoutcast mp3 stream. you can go to
http://www.thestreamcenter.com/pda/ to find your station and streaming
options. Another site I've found useful is http://radio-locator.com
which has a search by genre, call letters and city/st or zip. They
have links to the stations and their streams, though is sometimes not
up to date.
