the player is HORRIBLE at streaming, even when you're on a T1, with a DMA'ing PCI ethernet controller, a P3-500 and 128mb of ram. While it's downloading, playback will stutter, even though you're not at the end of the downloaded data; When it finishes downloading, everything picks up just fine.
You are not streaming. You are watching while downloading. It's not QuickTime's fault you don't know the difference.
This service could be used to keep track of the people who offer/download mp3s by "artists" like Enya or Backstreet Boys and report them to their sister company who would then hand out polite mercy killings. I think it could be done tastefully and in such a way as to be considered humane. Either that or kill all the people who listen to Tom Waits and then I'd be out of my misery.
