Hi,
Save the file when you get the option and then click on the stream from
within file explorer.
Hth,

Hi, Jenny,

I tried a c b radio and could not open any of the 4 serviceeas.  I was
connected and 
heard the sound which shows the task is completed.  I was back at the list
of links.  Maybe 
that's normal, so I waited quite a few minutes and never heard a peep.

What did I do wrong?

Joe G.
