New Internet Station - Seattle Based featuring all songs of the 60's and 70's

Can it be heard on a plain old PC running XP?

EDIT:

Nevermind.

For some reason it (the actual stream) never loads in Firefox, but works in Chrome.
 
Works fine in Windows 7, but I'm not hearing the "wow" factor yet. Yeah, there aren't a lot of FM stations outside of the community/college stations that would play both the Temptations' "Cloud Nine" and Patsy Cline's "Crazy," but those are both big, recognizable hits. So is Terry Stafford's "Suspicion," which is playing now, right after the Cline song. The only non-hit I've heard is Neil Young's "After the Goldrush," which was such an AOR staple for so many years that it might as well be considered a hit.

I suppose this station might be OK for background listening for people with broad, but mainstream, tastes who don't mind hearing well-known songs from all over the spectrum. ... And now here's "Wooly Bully." Yawn.
 
It's interesting so far, heard a few things that the Oldies stations haven't worn down to a nub over the last 20 or so years, but also heard Magic Carpet Ride twice about 6 hours or so apart, and the same for Heard It In A Love Song (full length version).

The automation needs further fine tuning or the trip tones need better placement. People keep stepping on each other's tongues.

Can't tell yet if there's any "method to the madness" in which songs get clustered together.

And some of the songs have problems that sound like maybe there's a phase flip on one channel somewhere in the chain, so that stuff doesn't have the same levels relative to each other as the way I heard them back when.

On the other hand I hear stuff in them I never heard clearly, or at all, before.
