Click on a link to hear radio. Popup:

"Abacast streaming media software currenly [sic]
only supports the Windows Operating System.
To manually connect to the stream, open
http://www.abacast.com/media/pls/filmmusic/filmmusic-bb-64.pls
with your favourite asx file interpreter."

Points:

1) It's not ASX, it's AN MP3 STREAM. So you've got off to a really bad start
here.
2) Stop trying to be fucking smart. You're actually being a moron. Let the
user's browser deal with whether they have the right helper app or not.
3) You're asking me to copy and paste FROM A DIALOG BOX. HELLO? THAT TEXT IS
NOT FUCKING SELECTABLE. Or perhaps you just expect me to painstakingly
transcribe it, letter by letter?

"Demand Abacast Technology from Your Service Provider!" Um, no, I'll pick
software that isn't retarded, thanks.
