For further clarification, I missed that Mike had references
"stats.xml", which I read, simply, as "stats.xsl".  I was
only going to
.xsl, before.  Both "/stats" and "/stats.xml" produce the
appropriate
XML file I have been seeking.  I am now successfully displaying
Title/Artist (in this case, reciter, not really artist) on the front
page of my site.

This XML stuff is really neat.  :)

And, in reference to Chup's comments, I didn't mean to be disrespectful
in any way, i.e., "I PAID NOTHING FOR THIS SOFTWARE, SO WHY DOESN'T IT
WORK LIKE THE $4,000 REALAUDIO SERVER!"  I hope I didn't come off that
way.  ;)
