Our MP3 streams can be played by iTunes, QuickTime, RealPlayer, Winamp, Windows Media Player, and other media players. We provide the MP3 stream in two different link styles -- .pls and .asx -- because different players prefer different link styles.

• .pls: iTunes, QuickTime, RealPlayer, WinAmp
• .asx: Windows Media Player

Choosing your Media Player

Do you want the stream to launch in a different player? When you install a media player, it will often try to become your default player and "claim" most media types, so when you try to play music or videos of those types, that player will automatically start up and play it. Unless you tell it not to, the most recently installed media player will be the default player for most of the types. You can reset these preferences in the following places:

• RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Content > Media Types
• Winamp: Options > Preferences
• Windows Media Player: Tools > Options > FileTypes

Need an Audio Player? Here are some free ones that we recommend:

• Winamp
• RealPlayer
• iTunes (Mac OS)
• XMMS (Linux OS)

Skips & Glitches

• Internet congestion can slow down the delivery of the stream, and may make it difficult for you to connect, or may cause increased buffering. This congestion could occur anywhere between you and the station. We apologize for your inconvenience and suggest you keep trying, or try again later. If you have repeated difficulty connecting, please notify your ISP -- there are often quick fixes they can make when they learn about your issue.
• Local congestion: local (on your computer) bandwidth is shared between all open applications and the player, so closing applications frees up memory and may reduce buffering.
• Corporate Firewalls: Some people may not be able to connect because their workplace has installed systemwide firewalls to block MP3s and streaming.  If your system is behind a firewall, please contact your network administrator to open up your firewall to allow your system to access this stream.
