Anyone KNOW why radio stations insist on using flash for audio instead
of normal audio formats like Windows, MP3, etc? I see no advantage
since it won't work on Apple products and HTML 5 has audio built in.
Just makes the listener's job more difficult. Makes no sense.


The most likely reason flash is used for streaming is that it is OS and
browser independent.


So is MP3. Flash is overkill for audio streaming.
