Well, dear WEL, since no one has answered your question in lo these couple of months, yes, I have had the same problem for the last year or so.
And besides that, right now at work, where I have a high-speed connection, I can't listen at all. Explorer gives me "XML error", and when I use Netscape, RealPlayer tells me it needs to upload new software to play the file, I click YES, and it says "No software available."
In brief: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!
