Ahhh...but with those spots before broadcast.com picks up the feed - you
can actually fast forward through them.

THis is what I do: 

  Just drag that little bar on the
real audio window to the right and you'll see it start buffering and
picking up the radio station feed.  That way you dont have to sit through
the stupid ad.  

Take that Madison Avenue!! :)
