Need an MP3 player? Wired News recommends Sonique -- not because we have the same parent company, but because we like the people who make the player.

Mac users and people who have trouble with the streaming files can try QuickTime 4. (We don't know anything about the people who make this player, but we're sure at least a few of them are very nice.)
