Does anyone know a way to stream music to SL from Pandora?

I've just googled Pandora and been told I'm not allowed to play as I'm not in the United States!

You should be able to do it using WinAmp DSP. When you open the Shoutcast Source window, there is an "Input Device" drop-down list box. Rather than choosing "Winamp (Recommended", choose "Soundcard Input". This broadcasts everything you hear on the PC. I have used this to broadcast from iTunes, and I would guess it works with Pandora, too.

The downside of this is that you hear *everything* on your PC, including system beeps and any SL sounds if you're running SL on that box.

ETA: I tried it, and the quality's really low. This may be because the PC soundcard I'm using is 10 years old and really bad, so it's worth a shot with a better PC than my old spare one.
