I’m trying to listen to Air America Radio at: http://www.airamericaradio.com/listen.asp

I seem to have problems with Pocket Internet Explorer clicking on ‘listen-live’ links on pages, especially if it has any javascript. So, I viewed the page source, and figured out that the link for the ‘listen-live’ butten points to:

http://play.rbn.com/play.asx?url=air...s?mswmext=.asx

So, I emailed it to myself, and while WiFi, clicked on the link. It indeed launched internet explorer, which then launched Windows Media Player. It only plays for a few seconds, and then abruptly closes Windows Media Player. Sometimes, it closes the player before it even starts playing.

What gives? Is it a conspiracy?

Thanks for being liberal with your help & suggestions.
