| Cool beans. I'm streaming MP3's now with some help from my friends, Flex 2 and Flash Media Server. During this past summer, I put together a Flex 2 MP3 Player that did not stream the MP3's, so it had to download the one selected from a ComboBox completely before the 'Play' button was enabled.
Depending on the song, this delayed the playback 30 seconds or more. This release utilizes my Flash Media Server and streams the MP3, so it can now be played immediately.
Additionally, the ID3 information is displayed for those MP3's containing this data. I found that I had to drop the visualizer feature as the streaming MP3 does not seem to provide visualizer-friendly data. If anyone has successfully tied the NetStream to a visualizer-type component in Flex 2, I would love to see how you did it.

NOTE: Flash Player Version: 9.0.28.0 seems to work better with Firefox and my no-ip web forwarding.
