From: Jo-Anne on 12 Jun 2010 22:56 My favorite radio station offers live streaming, but I haven't been able to figure out how to get it. The station says this: "Live Stream is available in two formats, AAC+ and MP3. WinAmp is the recommended player for the highest quality AAC+ stream, while Windows Media Player, iTunes, and RealPlayer will play the MP3 stream." Generally, I use VLC media player, but I do have Windows Media Player--but couldn't see how to use it. Any idea of where I should start? Thank you! Jo-Anne
From: Bob on 12 Jun 2010 23:22 Since it is the recommended player why not use WinAmp? http://www.winamp.com/ "Jo-Anne" <Jo-Anne(a)nowhere.com> wrote in message news:hv1hdi$j89$1(a)news.eternal-september.org... > My favorite radio station offers live streaming, but I haven't been able > to figure out how to get it.

From: Bill in Co. on 12 Jun 2010 23:25 What happens when you click on either one to try it? (I'm assuming one of your players will be able to handle it. You don't necessarily need Winamp to play AAC, and WMP to play mp3 files, by any means!). What player do you normally use to play mp3s? If you click on an mp3 file in windows explorer, what player handles it? Jo-Anne wrote: > My favorite radio station offers live streaming, but I haven't been able to > figure out how to get it.

From: Jo-Anne on 13 Jun 2010 00:09 Thank you, Bill! I tried one more time in VLC media player, where I had tried before, and suddenly it worked. Before, I couldn't get any sound at all.
