hi tony
dont know what site you use for radio stations but i have tried a few myself
mikes worldwide radio seems to use windows media player only
365 live uses its own player and is not my favorite site in terms of
navigation
however by far the best after a year of checking out internet radio sites is
shoutcast. it uses both wmp and real player as far as i can figure but i
would say almost 90 per cent of the stations come in thru real player. they
are easy to access too as when you search for a station , by genre, for
example and go into your links on the results found you get a link with the
name of the station and another with a real player/tune in link.
have them driven daft here with classical chinese music, russian top 40 and
a particularly good morroccan station called radio sawa!
hope this answers some of your thoughts.
ps. am itching to record internet radio, have found the facility on 365 live
but cannot fathom how to use it....not to worry i guess the facility will be
made more widespread on radio sites what with the coming of DAB.
as an alternative at the moment i use a phono/earphone cable connection to
the stereo and i can tape the broadcasts.
Great for playback too....with the stereo on full blast....just don't let
the kids near it.

paul h

Subject: [vicsireland] Selecting A Media Player
Hi All,
Just to clarify!
When I am listening to audio on my computer, such as on line radio, MP3
files and Podcasts how do I select my preferred player such as Real One or
Winamp?
I have Windows media player installed as standard.
I realise that you may not always have a choice of player but if a choice
exists how do I select my preferred player?
Trust that clarifies my query!
All the best,
Tony Sweeney.
