I tested these urls using SC 7.4-25345 on ubuntu 8.04 and they played without interruption on my SB3, Duet and Boom. Sorry, I don't have a 7.3.3 version to test them on.
The url's however would not verify when I tried to add them to my Squeezenetwork favorites, but I could play them from an opml file of favorites which I use on Squeezenetwork.
