Ok... it's the next day and it's still not working... does anyone know what the deal is, or is this just me?

There were some changes in the way the station works recently. If you haven't already done so, click on the link to "tuning in" just above the album cover display on the Radio page. There is detailed up-to-date information there about how to listen.

There are also 2 direct links there. For me listening with iTunes on a Mac these 2 links work even though the links on the main radio page do not.

One of the changes Kris just made is to increase the bitrate, and the high bandwidth stream really sounds great.

Hope this helps,

Zack

Thanks for fielding that one for me, Zack :)

I've heard of a few problems with people connecting since the switchover... which is *weird* since I'm still using the same player in the player window, etc. I would suggest clearing your web browser cache and trying again. You might have tried to tune in on Friday when I was still tinkering with settings.

If you're keen to try something new, I'm a huge fan of the jetAudio player, which you can get from jetAudio.com. It supports mp3PRO *and* will open up a little window with the BWWRadio page inside it so you can see which songs are playing. You need to tune in manually (see the "help tuning in" link on the radio page for info on how to do this) but the sound quality is fantastic (near CD-quality). With the changes we've made, you can now listen with almost any player you want (Winamp, iTunes, Musicmatch, RealPlayer, etc.) instead of being stuck with Windows Media Player. You can always drop me a note at [e-mail] if you need more help... but once you get it working again, you'll love the new sound!
