If you go to ACBRadio.org and click on the individual pages for interactive,
cafe and so on, you will find a combo box or a series of links. Choose MP3 or
Winamp and the streams will play, I have them saved in my Braille+, so I know
they work.

Hi, Marta,
I was not able to play Cafe either.
Thereis a program for the computer called "ACB Tuner. When that program opens,
you are
prompted for a number of things, including your choice of file type.
This does not appear in the website. It looks like we must wait for Amy to
explain how
she was able to read those streams.
