On the first page it says "click here to listen" Then on the page that
comes up it says
*Choose Your Player To Listen To Ride Radio*
Winamp, iTunes and most players
<http://loudcity.com/stations/ride-radio/files/show/ride-radio.pls>
Windows Media Player
<http://loudcity.com/stations/ride-radio/files/show/ride-radio.asx>
Realplayer
<http://loudcity.com/stations/ride-radio/files/show/ride-radio.ram>
Loudcity Player (starts when you open the page)
<http://loudcity.com/stations/ride-radio/tune_in>
The Windows Media Player link is right there.
