(BTW - yours streams just fine for me, so my problem with KQED here in San Francisco must be a KQED problem and not a problem with my machine.) The case I was speaking of was when you open Windows Media Player and go to the page called 'Media Guide'. On there, when ever I choose a link, it just starts streaming, and as far as I can tell it's usually wma it's streaming. I didn't get a chance to choose. M$ just said 'Give Mark wma data' and in it comes. If I tell Media Player to open your URL, it comes back telling me it encountered a problem. If I was paranoid (I'm not) I would guess that M$ figured out you didn't have a wma data type and just refused to open it. ;-) Thanks for the address though. Now I can work on my German! Cheers, Mark
