This morning's banner at
http://streamingradioguide.com
sends shivers up the spine for those of us who maintain extensive stream url
listings:
Streaming Alert
New Clear Channel Player
Clear Channel has switched to a new player that makes it easy to "tag" songs for
purchase in iTunes. Over the weekend, we changed all 800+ station links to the
new
player, even though some Clear Channel stations that don't play music have not
yet
upgraded
The new player doesn't work on Macs and Firefox without installing additional
software.
The "Need Help?" link on their player explains what you need and you'll find the
same link here (along with a link to the old player for now)
ok. So what does this all mean:
(1) The new form for the streaming url of a CC family station is as follows:
station's website address
plus
/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st
Ok. So I tested and verified this on the following stations:
wfxj, Jacksonville, FL -- am 930, Sports Foxx plus local
http://www.930wfxj.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st
\
woc, davenport, IA -- AM 1420 newstalk
http://woc1420.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st
wrno, new orleans, la -- fm 99.5 newstalk
http://www.thenew995fm.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st
wflf, Pine Hills/orlando, FL -- AM 540
http://www.540wfla.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st
wgst, atlanta, ga -- am 640 newstalk
http://wgst.com/cc-common/ondemand/player.html?world=st
----------
If a station doesn't stream, and you try the url, you simply get a msg
indication that this station doesn't stream.
(2) RAV tunes these urls fine as it did the previous CC-tuner stations.
(3) RAV, however, will not record these streams, as it stands now,
using stream capture. Hopefully, the jump urls Applian creates will deal with
this successfully.
Remember, for listening purposes, these urls work fine and if you routinely
listen to clear channel stations, it's time to update before the old links are
dropped.
