roger that, outlook has its way of deciding for you sometimes :/

<p>> URL ends with ".ogg". If your script ends with ".php" (as it probably
does),
Since i got the mp3 part to work, myabe ill try adding .ogg to be parsed by
php in the
apache config, since it the winamp request ends up hanging.

thanks for the tips, if and when i get it working ill post the results as
well as links to the script download.
