However cdrecord was normally used, it would not work with this drive and 
2.2.16.  Probably ide-scsi.

I don't know what I mean.  Is there some way to get 2.6 smaller?

It stopped in the middle because that is where the file stopped.
If I had downloaded more it would have played longer.  I kept downloading 
and each time I could play more of the file because I had more of it.
So this was working as predicted.

This would be fine if the station were not streaming the mp3 faster than 
my connection speed.
