What do I need?

The streaming audio player utilizes Windows Media Player. It is highly advised to upgrade your player to the latest version. To download the latest version click the following link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.aspx

Why doesn't my player work?

The streaming audio player will temporarily open up a connection to your computer to allow the streaming to occur. You must allow this permission for the player to function properly. You may be prompted to allow this connection to occur every time.

What if I'm using a firewall?

The streaming audio player may not function properly if you are using firewall software. Try clearing your temporary internet files and disabling your firewall until the stream begins and then re-enable if so desired. Strong corporate firewalls may prevent streaming access to your computer.
