I came across the CBC Radio 3 website a few days ago and I must say, I am really impressed. It has a lot of great Canadian bands including live concerts which i assume were recorded by CBC.
The main problem i have with internet radio stations is that i never keep a browser window open all the time. So i did the simplest thing possible, i wrote a little program and embedded a web browser (IE) and pointed it to radio3.cbc.ca. Made a little cbc icon, and bam, done.
Well, almost. Turns out what i also don't like about internet radio is that you can't use the media buttons on your keyboard. But, with a little bit of poking around and some trial and error, i managed to get my little program to trap those keystrokes and call some flash commands the little web player supported.
If you are interested, post a commment and i'll put the program up somewhere.
