-> RJT> What's an ".m3u" file? Don't think I've run acrosws that
-> RJT> one before... 

-> It's a 'redirect' file containing the _actual_ location of the
-> MP3 file (the URL). For some reason no one wanted to let MP3
-> players assume they were supposed to stream an MP3 file? The
-> '.m3u' extension tells the player to buffer/play the music as
-> it downloads. 

 It also prevents you from downloading the music file itslef by right
clicking on the mouse and saving it. All you get is the redirect file.
