I'm just going to click on " Listen to KQED > Live " and figure it out or call someone who knows. > > http://www.kqed.org/fm/index.html I just checked out the link, and it gives two ways to do it. One is using RealPlayer software, the other is with Windows Media Player. Both these packages are fairly large, particularly if you're downloading over a modem, so, you may want to give yourself some extra time if you don't have the software installed already. When I say " extra time " , I mean at *least* two hours, especially if you're going to download it tomorrow morning (busy traffic time for the Internet). Listening via Windoze Media Player worked fine, with no problems. The media player is built into Microsoft's newer releases, so you might ready to listen as is, and not have any further work to do. Next, I tried to listen via RealPlayer, and it didn't work for me - it seemed to expect the absolute latest-and-greatest version of the software on my end, and I'm a couple of versions behind. I didn't think it was worth downloading a 10 MB upgrade, especially since my current version of RealPlayer works just fine for listening to the Iditarod, and thus I'm happy with it. But, if you're planning to use RealPlayer, be warned, you might need to upgrade. Incidentally, regarding time zones - while I was listening, the station announced the time as 9 PM (it's midnight here in the East) - so, I guess the reference to Pacific *Daylight* Time must have been a misprint.

When I tried it with Windows Media Player it seemed to work, but I would get a message " buffering " every once in awhile and it would pause. It seemed that the message was intact after the pause... did yours do that too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're actually hearing the broadcast several seconds after it happens - those few seconds are stored, or " buffered " in your PC's memory, so that if the Internet burps for a second or so, your PC can go on playing the stored audio without interruption while waiting for the incoming data stream to resume. Occasionally, the burp is a little longer, and the buffer in your software runs out - then, the audio stops temporarily. But as you noticed, it picks up right where it left off when that happens.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Dang! It worked just fine last night. Now the media player stops dead in it's tracks after apparently making a successful connect with the server. R should be on in about two hours. I don't think the problem is on my end.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2001 Report Share Posted March 9, 2001 Thanks for the help on this guys. However, I am in a real jam. I have taken the day off, driven 50 miles to be by a sound computer with access to an open telephone, and I have never felt dumber in my life. At one point I got the box with the sunshine smiley face saying " playing " but I get no sound. I'm on a new gateway with windows 98. That's all I can tell you. Keep the hints comming.

Try this: http://windowsmedia.com/radiotuner/default.asp I choose a jazz station and pressed " play " at the bottom. It's playing fine but it did'nt bring up the media player interface.
