>>>Hi:
>>>
>>>are you a modem user? do you wish that you could hear ACB Radio
>>>Interactive more clearly than you can currently? Have you checked out our
>>>Ogg Vorbis streams but found them to be unstable? Well, if you answered
>>>"yes" to any of those questions, then keep reading.
>>>
>>>I recently upgraded the software that provides our ACBRI Vorbis feeds.
>>>It's now a lot more stable (I've only had to restart it once in the past
>>>two weeks and that was because Dave crashed the server!). So it's
>>>available more reliably. People using 56K modems can tune in and get a
>>>stream that's almost as good as that enjoyed by our broadband listeners,
>>>and even people on slower modems can enjoy a stream with improved clarity
>>>over the modem MP3 stream.
>>>
>>>So how do you listen? Just go to http://interactive.acbradio.org, select
>>>the stream and player you want and go for it!
>>>
>>>If you've got Winamp version 2.8 or higher (including 5.x), you should
>>>have the vorbis plugin by default.
>>>
>>>We can also now tell listeners with Realone player or Realplayer 10, as
>>>well as Windows Media player 9 or 10, that there are plugins available
>>>that will let you hear these streams as well.
>>>
>>>Please note: This software is still under development. ACB Radio warns
>>>listeners that listeners who install these plugins do so in the full
>>>knowledge that this software is still being developed, that ACB Radio
>>>assumes no responsibility for any damage these plugins may do, and that
>>>any problems they cause are yours to sort out. Having said that however,
>>>our station manager installed both on his PC without any problems.
>>>
>>>Here are the links to the plugins.
>>>
>>>Realone PLayer or Realplayer 10:
>>>https://helixcommunity.org/download.php/507/xiphplins_win32_0_4.zip
>>>
>>>Windows Media player filters:
>>>http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/oggcodecs_XP_0.63.7755.zip
>>>
>>>So what is this Vorbis thing anyway? Ogg Vorbis is a free, open source
>>>alternative to MP3, and provides greater quality at comparable bitrates.
>>>Visit vorbis.com for more info.
>>>
>>>We hope you enjoy the increased quality our Vorbis streams provide.
