Hi!
The station is hosted on the Live 365 radio network (
www.live365.com). I used to be on iTunes, but when the RIAA threatened all the massive *retroactive* royalties, I (among others) got dropped in an effort to lower their exposure to liability.
You can tune in to Rat Patrol Radio using Winamp or another mp3 player, instead of the Player365 browser plugin. Player365 uses DirectX, so I dumped that when I dumped IE and went to Firefox.
IIRC, you have to make a free membership to Live365.com after listening for a certain number of hours. You can also get the stream (and ALL of the thousands of stations at Live365) commercial-free for something like $5 a month.
Used to, you could listen unlimited minutes on a free account, but now (again thanks to the greedy bloodsuckers at the RIAA) they send a query after a few hours to see if you're still actively listening, or the computer is unattended. They have to pay the RIAA royalties for every second that they stream to EACH listener, so they're checking to see if anyone is actually listening after a while.
Short version, and soapbox aside, it used to be a lot easier, but still is probably possible. The only hang-up will be the limited time for listening before getting "pinged". I would run it in the background while playing SHIII by starting it before starting the game, before I dug into my huge library of WWII songs radio clips and made an mp3 folder for it, and of course it was great to listen to when on those long drives in WWII Online.
You may want to check around on the tech forums at
www.live365.com and see if there's any info you can use. Good luck!
