Streaming audio headache.

Hya, got a problem with the billions (ok, maybe just millions) of different formats of streaming audio out there and the vey limited capabilities of pocket ie. Basically, only GSplayer and shoutcast playfiles work seamlessly, and even then, not directly from explorer but only if I save the file from Shoutcast and *then* open it from GSPlayer.

Now, my question is: is it only me having trouble or is there a simple way to play links like: http://www.sr.se/cgi-bin/webbradio/c...namn=p3-wm-Low

,on a pocket pc? I tried and tried, but if I tap this link directly from pocket ie, it opens windows media player and then gives me the dreaded "class not registered" message. It seems like no one has yet come up with either a player that can handle most formats or a standard of sending those bloody formats so that everyone can focus on content and not packaging.

So if anyone can get this link to work let me know since there are a bunch of other similar ones that so far only work on a regular computer.

Thanks for letting me vent some..
Stephan
