Dana, Hmm, I didn't know that WQXR was one of the XM choices. Maybe i'll try to find that, though i'm still not real good at pasting in URL's to the Winamp address bar or whatever it's called. For this station maybe I'll just stick to the regular radio, lol. Of course, maybe there's a variant of www.wqxr.com, but no, that's probably too simple, right? nothing like a little wishful thinking.
Thanks for your response. I'm still not sure I understand whether this XM or AOL content is free or not and under what conditions. it's frustrating to have to register for things before you know what you are agreeing to, and then of course there's the chance it won't work. Oh well, no such thing as a free radio station or something, lol. Susan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dana S. Leslie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
