Whats the difference between playing and streaming radio stations?
When you choose ‘Play’ for any station, the radio station will appear in a pop-up window inside a Flash-based player. This means you will hear the music for as long as your browser is open. When you listen to the radio station with the ‘Stream’ option, your browser will ask you to open a .pls file with whichever program your computer has set up to play them. Tell it to open the file, and the program will play the radio station for you. This means the radio station will keep playing even after you close your browser.
