I've been watching, struggling with, arguing against and, in general,
avoiding all forms of content DRM (Digital Rights Management) since the
mid 90's trying to find reading material for my 200LX.

NPR's "Fresh Air" had an excellent interview with the author of a new
book on the music industry's ill conceived battle with their
consumers... if you have 45 minutes, sit back and enjoy, but, note,
today's program will not be available until tomorrow (Jan 15)

(...and, unfortunately, the above won't work on windows mobile)

You really need to upgrade your device one of these days, Bev! ;-)

I changed the date in your link to the 13th (to make it valid today) and
it played last night's show just fine in WMP Mobile.

The recent WinMo versions, while still not perfect, have really beefed up
streaming support. These days, between WMP and TCPMP, I seem to be able
to play streaming content on my WinMo device more often than not, (which
certainly wasn't always the case!), unless it's Realplayer content, which
the RealOne Player for WM always chokes on!
