Kind of makes sense though...I almost never listen to streamed audio...just 
can't be bothered.  I'm not online that much and to me it's weird to think 
of my computer as a "radio".  I'm in my mid 50s.  It does seem more popular 
among younger audiences.  Almost makes me wonder about standards or oldies 
stations that stream, or are webcast-only.
