Mr. Sitkoff's magnanimous post, outlining the programs of this online
station, are to be commended, but listening to this "online" experience
is anything but satisfactory.  RealPlayer has frequent gaps in the music's
flow, and the student announcers cannot even pronounce simple English, much
less tackle foreign names like Scriabin.  I suppose if one doesn't have
access to a classical radio station, and if one doesn't own a substantial
number of classical works, this online thing might be of value.  But these
are two very big IFS, and two that, in my happy instance, don't apply.
