I live in South Korea and we get a 48kbps WMA file. It is listenable - I know this because I listen to it on my mp3 player. It is like listening to my old transistor radio when I was a kid. However, the sound is clear without any pops and crackle. It is just a reduced quality. I have some software that I use to download the mms stream. It is not perfect but it is probably good enough for me.

Love, David

They are I believe only able to download 48kbps WMA files, therefore not such high quality as the 128 kbps AAC files we can get here in the UK, but mp3 conversions thereof are perfectly listenable to. I suspect your mono + clicks experience is due to something else. Were you downloading files? Or just listening to and/or recording from the sound card an internet stream? The latter could, I imagine, be quite atrocious for many reasons.
