ACB Radio streams are in a variety of types, one for media player, one for real 
player and the MP3 stream.  Please insure that you are choosing MP3 or Winamp 
stream from a combo box in order to launch the right stream.

Hello, Amy,

I do not get an option to save or open.

I go to ACBRADIO and easily find the 4 links to which I can listen.  I sit 
on a
link.  I tried the options and find nothing there. Then I open the link and 
again I don't find
a save possibility.

What am I missing?

Joe G.
