Hi tony,
Whether you can change the player for a station depends on whether or not
they use an embedded player. (If they do, you're out of luck. Mike's Radio
World uses the specific player feeds. Be aware that, although you may
change the player for all stations, there are times when an url that was
designed for Windows Meedia, for example, will not work with any other
player. There is nothing else you can do when that occurs but use the
intended player.) My summary is that it is not a good idea to make one
player play all media types: "one player does not (cannot) play all."

Hi Paul,
I, as a number of people may know have been in to audio in a big way in the
past and indeed now, am getting my head around Audio on the web!
I do access the mikesradioworld but when I get to a station it tells me what
player they use!
Now I feel a question coming on!
Can I change the player on a station I listen to for example and if so would
it be the same procedure as what
our Chairman so well outlined on this listt?
Really only getting in to sound re computer!
Any pointers please advise?
Many thanks,
Tony Sweeney.----- Original Message -----
