How come

[dragonworks]

I have a 56k modem and when I listen to anything that is on Nowhere radio It is buffered and ready to go in about 2 minutes.
Any other site takes at least 15 minutes so I dont bother to download.

How come NWR is so quick, is it on the same server or somethin??

Nobody knows the answer to this??
I will die in ignorance.

It's because NWR uses actual streaming, not DLAPB (Download and Playback), depending on what the artists settings are. For lo-fi, every single one is actual streaming.

DLAPB is easy to do (any morron can point an M3U at an mp3), streaming is not, so most sites do DLAPB.
