Thanks again, Ryan. But...

Well, we are in year 2013 after all. And there are many ripe-aged users
(like myself) out there, that wouldn't dare to build something from
sources, let alone install something they don't know what it's for. I am
not all like that, but I don't like to install additional SW on my machine
for something I have DL-ed to make it work.

Will try to find something that works by downloading alone. Like nicecast.
But that costs 60$. Too much for me.

Regards,
Marjan
