Betty, first of all thanks for the very enthusiastic comment you left on my website.
Are you using an N800 with OS 2008, or is it still on OS 2007? OS 2008 uses a completely new browser which is technically very similar to Firefox, and has much more compatibility with websites. It may display websites much more like what you're seeing on the Mac. Incidentally, are you using Firefox on your Mac or Safari?
OS 2008 also has a wider compatibility with audio standards so it's more likely to work with internet radio stations.
Regarding intuitiveness, part of the problem is that there's a wide range of streaming standards, and another problem is that many stations (including the BBC) do their best to actively prevent people listening to the stream directly. The BBC stations regularly change their streaming addresses so even if you save them correctly they will eventually get out of date and not work any more. (The BBC's website even denies that they CAN be listened to directly!) It's hard to make any single internet radio system comprehensive under these circumstances.
It would be a *great* future newbie tutorial.
I'd love to help but I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for. I already did the tutorial on internet radio stations (and recently rewrote and reshot it for OS 2008), is there something in particular you think is missing?
