Nope, there is another way too, and you gave me the last
piece of info i needed
Put this into AWeb and you got streaming playback of MP3 files
(although it takes around 50 to 70k download of the file here
with my ADSL connection until the playback starts.
PIPE slowness and XFade, i suppose?
Type AUDIO / MPEG
Extensions mpega mp2 mp3 Action Extl. w/PIPE
Name Path-to-your:TuneNet
Arguments -stream %u >NIL:
(Can be enhanced with deamon browser nogui etc.)
You don't want to do that

You have just passed a url to Tunenet to stream, whilst telling AWeb to send it's downloaded output to a PIPE:
If you are using AWeb 3.5.08 this will promptly lockup as the pipe will simply fill up, and AWeb will wait for it to be read from.
The latest dev build of AWeb is more intelligent about that, but your still doing two downloads one for AWeb one for Tunenet. Worse you using up memeory by writing to a pipe that will never be emptied.
Since I know you got the latest build, try using the Extl NoFecth Option.
This is the new feature in AWeb that allows you pass the url over to Tunenet and cancel the AWeb fetch.
If you wanted to use the Extl w/PIPE you should use %f not %u as this will be set to the PIPE: filename. But I think Tunenet has problems with pipes, (unless that been worked on since Bean and I discussed this).
