new CBC Radio 2 web streams

[Julian C. Dunn]

Hi TLUGgers:

Some (many?) of you are CBC Radio fans -- which I've noticed because you
have come up with novel solutions for capturing Windows Media streams
and turning them into something useful [1]

Today, CBC Radio launched four new web streams as part of the Radio 2
revitalization project [2]. It's not made clear on the Radio 2 site, but
these streams are in streaming VBR MP3 format, for cross-platform
compatibility.

CBC is providing a Flash-based player to play the streams, but you can
also use the direct M3U playlist links in your favourite Linux-based MP3
player:
