Having problems hearing the music? This site uses Windows Media Player among others.

You can try different browsers and see which one gives you the best results. Chrome works well, and is fast.  Regardless of the browser you use, you will need to make sure that the add-on for the media player is added.

Upon first entering the site you probably will need to run an add-on or extension for Windows Media Player depending on which browser you are using (i.e. Windows Explorer, Firefox, Chrome etc.). Please allow the add-on or extension to run.  You should only have to do this once; after that there should be no problems.

Mac users should try downloading “Windows Media Player for Mac”, if it is not aleady on your machine.

The following procedure is for Windows Explorer:

Log off the site and log back on.

Look for a message that says something like “this web site wants to run the following add on ‘Windows Media player extension’ from Microsoft ……’

Click on the message.

Choose ‘run add on’ from the drop down menu.

Overall browser website performance:

It is always best to use the most recent version of any browser. Chrome and Firefox are the preferred browsers for the best performance. Internet Explorer 8 and below should not be used.

This guide was made using a 3g iPod Touch. Later iPods, iPhones and iPads will work in a very similar way. Radio Lite is the free version of Radio, a paid app on the App Store. The free version contains all the features you require to listen, but it does have adverts.

The Station Name and Description fields are for your record only, they don’t need to match the server’s actual details.

Your Station URL should be the hostname and port only, do not include the protocol (i.e. http://).

6. Tap the blue Save button and your station will be listed on the Streams page

7. Tap the hollow star to add your station to your favourites

Other Mobile devices

iOS

 

iOS has poor native support listening to SHOUTcast stations. While you can listen in iOS’s Safari browser, there is no OS integration. Using one of these apps will mean you can listen in the background and control playback with iOS’s media controls.
