But if Tim encoded in .mp3 and there were a .m3u or a .pls linked there you would be able to open in Streamfurious or Nagare (these programs can be set to automatically open these file types).

So you are basically complaining that your preferred format is not supported. I happen to think aac+ is the best format for streaming but none of these programs support those streaming formats even though the music player can play local AAC+ files natively. Yet am I frothing at the mouth over this? Not really.

I'm guessing you could play that stream with your winmo phone because Microsoft pushes their audio format above all others.
