OK, let's see if I understand (I'm a little slow, bear with me...). mod_mp3 starts sending the stream when a play directive is sent, Mozilla sees this and asks me what to do with it. I tell it to use Winamp to open it. Mozilla then proceeds to download the file as an MP3, 'cuz that's what it thinks it is, to be opened by Winamp after the download is finished.

Now, for fun, I disabled the MP3DefaultOperation and just tried to connect Winamp to http://myservername:8000, and it buffers some of the stream and then starts playing. So Winamp seems to nkow what to do, but Mozilla doesn't. Is there a way to tell Mozilla what to do? I've configured Winamp as a Helper App for MIME type audio/mpeg, but Moz still wants to download a file before passing the data off to Winamp. I guess I gotta read up on interfaces for mod_mp3.

Thanks,
