I just now replaced PM123 with WarpVision for MP3/pls files, tried to play 
the KBYU stream, which is what I understand you have. The result is the same
as before -- Firefox wants to save it to disk, and only asks me for 
verification, with the other choices greyed out. It has nothing to do with 
what player I specify for playing that stream. The MPC window does not come 
up.

How to convince others that you are tolerant and nonviolent: throw grenades 
and firebombs, blow up schoolbusses and pizzerias, burn buildings, 
decapitate those you can't convince, and in general, exhibit your 
narrow-minded bloodthirstiness for all to see -- and tell them you're doing 
it for God.
