Is NPR caring on the user's location? I'm in Spain but haven't notice any
difference :-?
There is a list of available streams for each "Station", for instance,
the Music station has:
http://www.npr.org/templates/websites/musicstreams.php?t=10001
They are loaded from their respective sites, though, not from NPR player.

Yup, that's what I meant :-)
It could have been a specific problem with the chosen stream.

Iceweasel is hanging at you? Wow, it seems to work very smoothly here, as
always. Anyway, this NPR issue seems not to be related to a concrete
browser.
