Internet Radio is a relatively new medium. In the old days when AM radio was the only radio available, a new version called "FM" came along! If you wanted to hear the new stations, you had to go out and buy a new radio!
Well, listening to Internet Radio is much easier and FREE, but you have to make sure you have the proper "radio". In the world of computers, that means you must have the current software installed and set up properly.
If you are having trouble listening please read these FREE suggestions:
- Make sure you have installed the latest version of your BROWSER. We suggest using Internet Explorer 6. You may also use Netscape Navigator, Mozilla, or the new
Firefox browser from Mozilla.
- Make sure you have installed the latest version of WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER. The latest, Version 9, can be downloaded for free at the link here
- Make sure you have performed all of your 'WINDOWS UPDATES'. This will ensure that you have all the latest software patches and fixes. To check your system for available Windows Updates click on the link

- POP-UP BLOCKER software will prevent the player window from opening. Examples of 'pop-up' blocker software include the Google and Yahoo Toolbars, Zone Alarm, Norton Internet Security. Most 'pop-up blocker' software can be temporarily disable by holding down the key while you click on the listen link. MAC USERS - You can disable the pop-up blocker for just one window by holding down the control 'z' while clicking on the link. Some software lets you enable popups for a specific website too. You'll need to check the documentation for yours.
- Many places of business are employing the use of a FIREWALL to keep a handle on the Internet traffic going to and from their network. A firewall is configured to help stop malicious activities from harming the network. If you have a firewall installed, uou'll need to check the documentation. Windows XP Pro, ZoneAlarm and Norton Internet Security are common user level firewalls.
