I think what is happening here is that only a portion of the MP3 file is being downloaded, then it's being played. It stops while the rest is downloaded, then starts again. This is a potential problem with listening to things online, and this is reproducible because the file is always the same size. Some players and plugins handle this problem better than others. The best thing to do to avoid this problem is to download the whole file and save it as described above by AvidReader. Then you can listen to the whole thing without interruption. If one is short on disk space, then this may not be possible, but if one is that short on disk space, there will very soon be other problems.

Mikie mentions not being interested so much in the NBC version, but more interested in the official version. ??? I'm not sure what this means. It would be better to purchase a tape or CD copy, I suppose, as opposed to an MP3 file because the MP3 file is compressed. But I really don't expect there to be much difference between what I pulled off of NBC and digitized and an "official" CD. What I have may be better because it's 96000 samples/sec, 24-bit rather than 44100 samples/sec, 16-bit (CD quality --- yuck!). I hesitate only because I'm not sure how good the FM quality of NBC's broadcast is. It sounds pretty darn good.
