I'd be listening to a lot more if only I could figure out how to have a 'radio' as part of my computer! Seems like a little thing, I know, but baffled I remain
 Play CD's nearly constantly though - right now, listening to some 'oldies' that a friend put together for me and eep, I'm feeling old! |

Hi Mara - guess we're lucky in Aussieland - we can get just about any radio (and t.v. shows) through our computers and even have radio playing while working the 'puter through other areas..... on the "oldies" scene, I just blew the dust from a load of old and much-loved vynils and have wallowed in the Seekers, Platters, Guy Mitchell, John Denver, Dudley Moore, some of the swing masters, Glenn Milller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Tommy Dorsey et. etc. etc. not forgetting Sarah Vaughan, Billie /Holliday, and more recently Miles Davis "Kinda Blue" - there's tons more but you know what I mean...  Don't feel old ... just mellow, mature, and superior (you're allowed!!)

Nice attitude!. Do you have any other links that might get USA radio channels that are open to Australia?? would appreciate hearing...  I'm posting this in this thread, rather than a p.m. as it may be other posters could have suggestions??

I have a few other links I haven't tried yet. I'll have to find where I put them. Because of a recent copyright ruling, the smaller stations can't afford to stay online. Here's 2 others I use but you might have the same problems

Yes, thank you to both for the info!
Now, try not to laugh to hard but it's not the source of the music that has me stumped as much as how on earth does one listen to it on the computer. As in ... special hardware or software or something? I have 'Windows Media Player' and have pushed all it's buttons but alas, no music other than that I already have in my computer or on CDs. Hanging my head in embarassment over not knowing this basic stuff... Mara |

Hanging my head in embarassment over not knowing this basic stuff... Mara Mara - first, I ain't laughing!!! As the major claimant to "computer moron" title I don't laugh at anyone for anything computer related..... Now, I spose it'll work the same for you, just use any the links Mark has kindly given us and somewhere on their page will be "listen" or something similar - just hit and and follow the prompts (that's how I came to get my ABC connections - they spelt it out in the prompts, complete with pictures, or I'd still be music-less!!)Hope it helps

I like to listen to "talkback" radio. Mainly the ABC. 702 Sydney.
Here's the link. http://www.abc.net.au/streaming/702/702stream.asx It says it broadcasts worldwide so should be available anywhere. --------------------  |

I'm not sure exactly how Pandora works, but it doesn't use Windows Media Player. You simply log in and make sure your speakers aren't muted, also double check the volume slide on the webpage and off you go Mark -------------------- Mark

The band "Disturbed". I was introduced to them by my good friend and roommate several months ago. No matter how many times I listen to an album, it never gets old. My favorite album is "Ten-Thousand Fists", but I like all of them.
I will also occasionally listen to "Breaking Benjamin", "Linkin Park", and "Weird Al". --------------------  "Fact is what the individual makes it, but truth, is an absolute, of which, we can barely glimpse." J.E.B. I have nightmares about computer glitches and bugs. |
