Ever end up getting banned because of wget not being the best user agent
around? I heard 2 others that are not liked are freeamp and Jet Audio. I
think banning on either user agent or having only 2 connections open is bad
because the agent name can probably be changed to winamp or media player and
people do use routers. These days one almost needs a router smart enough to
take a stream and feed it 2 places rather than opening out a second
connection that is thought usually to be a recorder.

That is correct. Fortunately, that's not what I was suggesting. You
listen to the mp3 file you're downloading with wget. Jump to about the
last 30 seconds and listen away. Technically it's a broken file since
it's still being downloaded live but I've done that with Winamp and it
works. As far as Linux players, I'm not sure but you could just keep
restarting the downloaded file and go to the end every time if it doesn't
support streaming.
