When WinAmp pops up after clicking the link on this webpage:
http://thefireandreason.irbl.net/audio/TFaR_audio_streaming.htm
if I then select "File-Play URL" and enter this URL:
http://www.thefireandreason.com/TFaRLive1.mp3
then it streams and immediately plays the mp3.
Doing the same by clicking the link on the html page located on my local
hard drive, it immediately plays the mp3 in WinAmp from that URL (it
passes the URL to WinAmp, I don't have to enter it manually).
Is this a problem using Internet Explorer only on my computer or do
other computers have the same problem?
Is there a better method (that will work in all web browsers and on all
computers) for streaming mp3 files on a webpage (so it starts playing
immediately instead of waiting until the entire file downloads)?
