Gail and Dana, i'm a little confused as to the relationship between the XM stations and AOL and the player through which they are accessed. i mean, I was under the impression that those with an XM account could only play the streams through Windows Media. i had an account but canceled it since I found I had long buffering times on many occasions and sometimes couldn't seem to access streams at all, though maybe I didn't try long or hard enough to solve this problem. Bottom line was that I couldn't see paying for a service I wasn't able to access.
However, after they did this deal with AOL this summer, I tried to find out how it worked but couldn't get definitive information. i assume that they want you to download an AOL player which you pay for? Does this mean that AOL takes over your ISP? I have good cable service and this is not something I'd want to have happen. Dana, are you saying that there is a way to use Winamp as the player of choice listeningh to these streams? That would seem to be ideal for me since I think the buffering problems I had are somehow related to WMP 10 though am not completely certain. Would appreciate if you or other good folks could clarify, lol, i'm definitely confused.
