Nice to know that people find Streamers useful - and thank you all for your kind comments.
Skywise: I agree completely that Streamers needs to support other streaming formats. I added hooks for this in the last version and should be able to add quicktime support shortly. I also have an idea of how to add support for any stream that can be opened in a helper app via safari, but I'm not yet certain it will work. (i.e., I may be able to add wma support, even though windows media is not sufficiently scriptable to be supported in the same way real and quicktime can be. In particular, wma shows won't allow auto-detecting the end of a stream, and so the user will have to specify a duration for such streams.) I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this - and on anything related to streamers for that matter.
I'm also hoping to add the ability to import libraries. Allowing people to share will make it easier to find new streams and to expand one's library.
Take care - C.
