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.

I don't have a 'favorite' audio format, and I don't really care about the politics of the situation. My concern is that I have a set of radio stations that I used to listen to on my Winmo phone, and now they don't work. Apparently I 'upgraded' to the Android in order to lose functionality. And that's all I care about - functionality. I don't care what's "best," and I don't care if Steve Jobs or Bill Gates is the bigger jerk, I care when I discover I've spent money only to lose functionality.
But okay, I appreciate your filling me in that the problem is that the ASF format is not supported. Therefore if I REALLY care, I can find a Linux-based ASF player (like Mplayer) and adapt it to the Android.
