[Icecast] Making a smooth transition between sources?

[Tom Swirly]

I have a Flash player on my page - so that explains it.

Is there some sort of in-browser player I can use that doesn't have this
property?

That leads to another good question - how can I create a link on my page
that opens itunes directly?  I have a link to a .pls file - but that
downloads a file that then has to be opened to open itunes...
