I was saning the threads to see if there was a good internet radio that may be a bit better for the tablets then mplayers, is this worth having to pull up the web page or book mark each time you wanna listen.
it's hard to decide. who's more evil, Microsoft or Real :-)

I'd decide which stream you prefer on the basis of sound quality or bandwidth requirement; I think the beeb set them to be relatively similar sound. I'd actually keep a record of both streams on the basis if one is down the other should still work.

I'd do what someone else does and save them as favourites; I also keep a directory where I dump the asx and wma files, and it means I find the streams for playing on other systems.
