Joe,
The tuner prompts you for your choice of player, not for file types. As far
as I know, all the ACB Radio streams are .MP3 files.

Hi, Marta,
I was not able to play Cafe either.
Thereis a program for the computer called "ACB Tuner. When that program
opens, you are
prompted for a number of things, including your choice of file type.
This does not appear in the website. It looks like we must wait for Amy to
explain how
she was able to read those streams.

Hi Joe: My experience was that you couldn't listen to streaming media,
but then in a vibug discussion of the braille plus, I heard Amy
indicate that she could listen to the aph cafe shows. That's why I
asked if radio shows could be heard on the device. I tried opening
those shows, but have not been able to listen to them. I then tried
saving them, but no luck either. Marta ----- Original Message -----

from music websites Howdy, From my limited experience the Icon cannot
support listening to those music files nor will it support streaming
radio. Many of these files require the use of the Flash Player from
