I just missed the CC in the header then, or the mailing list stripped
out (most likely I just missed it.)

Silly radio stations.  Why can't they just say "This might only work
with x, so don't complain (much) if it doesn't work on something else"
and not purposely make sure you can't even try.

The whole thing is rather MS mediaplayer oriented.  However if you go to
www.ezrock.com/player/player.asp and look at the source, you find a link
going to http://www.ezrock.com/player/resources/ezrock.com/live.asx
which if you read it has a link to these four URLs which seem to work
when passed to mplayer (or the like) or at least the mms:// ones do:

mms://66.244.221.171/cjez
http://66.244.221.171/cjez
mms://66.244.221.173/cjez
