Re: linux, and audio.

Does anyone know of the direct audio feed address for "Dreamland" with
Whitley Strieber? And, how come some live365 sites let you have access
with "trplayer" thru "lynx" and others don't? How is it that some audio
sites give you ads without invoking JavaScript. I am not a C++ programmer,
but, we have simply got to find a way around this "unsupported url scheme"
message we all get when we try to invoke JavaScript in lynx. I fear that
lynx and maybe linux, will soon be useless to us all unless we gain full
meaningful and understandable access to X-Windows and X applications like
Netscape for Linux. I fear that, once again, we will be left behind, or
forced to stumble thru the jumble of MS Windows software products.

Until computers and the computer hardware and software industry develop
national and international uniform standards, computers will continue to
be useful toys. Just look at what a disaster internet radio has become
with the folding of netradio.com last month. Not to speak of the disaster
the dispute over royalty pay to announcers and advertising actors has done
to internet radio. Many broadcasts have pulled content from the internet
because of the fear of lawsuits, because the actors guild that records the
advertisements wants to be payed twice on their royalties, once for
conventional media (radio) and again for being broadcast on the internet.
