Lots of us have slow internet connections through old phone lines.  There's no
other choice where I live. Any streaming media on any app is pretty awful--slow,
disjointed. It may take a while to download the MP3, but at least it would sound
OK after the download is done. It would be easiest if downloads were ftp links
or something I could download with LimeWire. Otherwise we'll just have to
continue listening for 2 hours to a one hour "streaming" trickle.

MP3s trickle faster and clearer than others.
