Yes, it's still easy to get at, whether you wish to call it
pseudo-streaming or streaming is up to you. Files streamed by Real servers
or QTSS are not much more difficult to get at either, and there is always
digital capture. My only desire was for iTunes and other apps to think it
was streaming and respond appropriately. It wasn't for security purposes,
it was for convenience. A similar script works for RA, but has the added
ability to change any of the meta fields (name, artist, copyright) as well
as being able to start a file from anywhere within the file, not just at
the beginning of it.
