Spoken and Sung Japanese on the Net

These tend to come and go quickly because they are cheap & easy to do. (Better sound than RA, but poor usability, I chalk that up to immature technology, and look forward to a better front end for streaming audio. Thank god for playlists!) Drawback: only supported on Windows. (Was looking to expand into Mac, but politics raised it's ugly head, and the Mac community may have cheated themselves out of an excellent product.)

Windows Media Player

I give you a warning about MP. As with many MS products, it seems that they believe that once you have theirs, you have no need or desire for anyone else's product, so they tend to rip out file associations and make other PERMANENT changes and upgrades to your system that have the "side effect" of making it more difficult to use a competing product. For example, before I loaded the new MS Media Player, WinAmp's streaming audio function functioned nearly flawlessly, and I could listen to ShoutCast broadcasts for hours with nary a problem. IMMEDIATELY after installing Media Player 6.01 Netscape began crashing and I literally can't listen to a WinAmp broadcast for more than 5 seconds before I start hearing dropouts. Luckily I'm getting a new HD, as my current one is nearly at capacity, and I just may reinstall everything on that one just to see how happily MP will co-exist with WA and RA once I have more than a few hundred meg free.
