And for those wishing to listen to Radio 1 try these (link one), (link two). But beware: '[Radio 1 streams] are available sporadically at the moment. Don't be surprised if it cuts off, as I've probably just killed it ready for restarting with different settings.' Please email support to the BBC for their continued support for the ogg format. Happy listening."

Vive l'Asian Whores! by Anonymous Coward · 2002-01-28 20:03 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I do think the ability of ogg to sound good at low bandwidth is quite a boon. And I mean this in all sincerity, but the market for telephone Asian whores can really be boosted here... if cam girls were all the rage before, then why not phone-sex over the net? I just hate when streaming smut breaks up. This may be just what I need to get my business off the ground.
