Well thought out perhaps, but with one *screaming* annoyance that drives me clean up a wall when big corporations do it: "with your customized media player".
Well, y'know guys: that does me little good on my Linux box, and likely no good at all on my iPaq or Zaurus... or Mac.
Let's just *stream* the friggin bits, and let the user use the streaming tool they prefer, ok? It's *just* audio. It doesn't have to be multimedia, and trying to be all things to all people out of the gate pretty much just ensures that you won't be anything to anyone.
Just ask the original backers of Iridium.
But hey, maybe it's just me.
