   Stop it! You'll give us performance anxiety! No really... thanks though. Any thoughts on what could be better? What would you guys like to see next?

   A See Vous Play hosted on my front porch attended by only people I like or approve of... which coincidentally is about 7 deep ;)
   
   Um do betters... a way to edit my typos, in the comments section - a way to respond directly to a specific comment and possibly get emailed responses to your own - a way that when I have the stand alone opened, and open the home page the embedded page player doesn't stop of override what I am listening to...
   
   In terms of content... um no, it really has a great mix of everything I surf about 6 or 7 other sites for. The content here is eggsllent.
   
   I just found the concerts and sessions area the other day and aside from stalking the main page as my top 'o' the day, I am combing through all the gold in there!

   Open Source

   Ya know, I'd love to watch. Alas, it's not worth having to download a Microsoft product in order to do so.

   Can't break away!

   Posted on Oct 04, 2006 by michael.tyas

   It's 1:07 and I can't break away from the music, I've got to drive home and hit the hay...I've got to work tomorrow! The logic will break me, and then "style over substance" begins playing. I am slain. I stay longer. I get bloodshot eyes. Le sigh.
   
   I'd like to put the R3 Media Player on my blog. I'd like to put an R3 banner on my blog. I'd like to marry R3 if it would have Me. Them's my suggestions.

   I really have to second "TheRadioHead"'s comments... but it is not "not worth it" for me, but rather "impossible". Microsoft does not make a player for my system (GNU/Linux). Macromedia has only released version 7 of flash for Linux, so I am stuck there too.
   
   I love radio3, I love what you guys have to offer, and I really appreciate the podcasts in Ogg Vorbis. I only wish that you would carry that through to the rest of the media on your site to make it truly accessible. DRM is not the only obstacle to freely accessing information -- proprietary formats are just as bad.

   .asf

   I'm pretty sure mplayer and gstreamer can play the .asf format.

   Hopefully we'll be able to pop the concert up in a few other formats shortly. We're new to this game, so usually the first goal is to reach the widest possible audience, and then work our way back from there.

   To Linux Nerds

   Posted on Oct 05, 2006 by jharman

   I'm using Linux and can play the streams just fine.
   My only problem is trying to figure out how to save them via VLC Media Player which can capture the stream but deletes the file at completion!
   
   Anyway, spend a few minutes researching multimedia for linux and you'll get it to work. I might be able to help depending on your distribution, let me know at c3apollyon at gmail

    John,
    
    Great to hear! :)
    
    I completely understand working that way... even if I have to wait!
    
    If you are ever looking for beta-testers for other platforms/formats, you know where to find me.

    jharman, you are missing the point. I could possible hack at this until it works, but by not using a Free code (such as Theora http://www.theora.org/, which already works well with the icecast server that they have), I can not /legally/ watch these streems.
    
    I do not have a right to use the codecs that would be required, thanks to patents and the like. This is more than just a technical challenge.
