I think the multiple tracks on the WMA are a crude way of load-sharing. If first one fails - then the 2nd will be played and so on. A more reliable way of getting RealAudio stream would be to play a stream using AlienBBC and then save it to Favorites. Some of the URLs sites don't keep up to dat

Since you are based in the UK you can listen to the WMA URL. So create two entries in SC7 Favorites - one for R3 and one for R4. You can do the same on SN. If you have AlienBBC installed then in SC7 you can also make Favorites entries for the RealAudio streams (as an alternative). -- bpa
