| They've had those ogg streams up for a few years, but the quality is inferior
| to the wma streams (which play just fine in VLC). So the only thing to bug
| them about is just that, the quality. Otherwise, you're as free as you like to
| listen in an open format.

1) they only stream Eastern Time.  The mms stuff streams from each
   station in the local time.  When I miss a show that I want, I grab
   the mms from farther west.

2) I try to record the ogg stream sometimes.  The connection dies
   before an hour is up.  Not good for an hour-long show.  This used
   to not be the case, but it has been for perhaps a year.  The mms
   streams may not have this problem.  I'm trying mmsrip.
