I have had no problems copying the RTTY feed with plain ol' Windows Media 
Player that was already on my computer.  Go to "File" and "Open URL" and 
plug in  http://207.207.72.32:8000 and away you go.  I didn't have WinAmp 
and before I messed about with loading yet another program on my machine 
(and its seemingly rapidly disappearing HD space!) I thought I'd try 
Windows Media Player.  It does seem to suffer from the occasional "fade" 
but I don't know if that's the fault of Media Player, my connection, my 
computer, etc. since there are far too many variables in that formula.  Oh 
well, with the fades it makes it seem like I am copying off-air!
