Just to through a small spanner in the works. Are we assuming here that
users will only ever want to listen to streaming audio that is
continuous, ie Internet streamed "radio stations"?

 I quite often to individual songs streamed from various places
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/jowhiley/ is a favourite). It would good to
have support for these in any "streaming audio" (Rather than just
iRadio) player. This would mean you could easily want next, previous
etc. The complication then is that, assuming you could associate
album/artist/title metadata with streams, these files are actually
better suited in the muine "playlist" approach, rather than the iRadio
approach we appear to have been discussing so far.[1]

Thoughts?

just rip them to local files - but that's not very copyright friendly ;)
