Thanks, but could someone with a much faster connection than my dialin 
volunteer to download this enormous package and post just the racook codec 
separately?  What other codecs are commonly used by internet radio?

Which codecs other than racook are commonly used in internet radio?

David, could you possibly include at least racook in your mplayer package 
so that those of us with dialup access don't need to download for two
