Thanks... what I'm actually looking into is being able to "tune in" a 
local radio station via URL.... many stations already provide their 
audio this way, but one station in particular seem to only have a web 
interface and require something like mediaplayer etc.

The station web site is http://www.101kgb.com (San Diego California USA)

The URL to get the streaming audio is:
    http://www.101kgb.com/cc-common/streaming_new/index.html

Which displays a nice little window with an ad, a few seconds later the 
url changes to:
    http://www.101kgb.com/cc-common/streaming_new/index.html?refreshed=yes

What I'd like to try is writing some code for a device I have (ref http://slimdevices.com) that can nicely handle wav streams.... I thought if I could write some code to act as an http client as above, and produce a wav stream, then my "slimdevice" could play that station too.

Right now, I've just started the investigative process... seems like a fun project, which might (should) have more widespread use than a single radio station too.
