Topic: Has anyone successfully listened to an abacast stream on Chumby?

Just wondering if anyone has been able to get an abacast stream up and running.  This URL from WRR in Dallas is an example.

http://player.abacast.com/wrr/playerb.html

The My Streams options do not work for this.

Abacast seems to require Windows Media Audio, which is not supported on the chumby.

It won't even play on a Mac, unless you install a third-party extension to QuickTime.

Duane:  Thanks for the quick reply!  This was the only Dallas station that I normally listen to which I could not get up and running.  Oh well, that's why you have an FM built in.

On a side note... I am impressed by the sound quality of the single speaker.  I was expecting the sound quality most clock radios have, but yours is much better.  Good job.
