How to play Internet streams

There are two main types of Internet stream:

•Broadcasting streams
•Sound files available on a web site

 

Broadcasting streams

Internet radio is a broadcasting service which transmits one or more sound streams via the Internet.

 

When playing stream software will download  the stream into a buffer quietly in the background.

How often the stream is going to be buffered that depends on your internet connection speed.

On average DSL 256KB/sec the playback is continuous without any additional buffering.

Many radio stations supply streams for dial-up modems and broadband separately.

 

How to get the Internet stream address:

Search the internet for radio stations, whenever on the radio station web page you will see a "Listen" or similar buttons that starts the stream then:

1.Move your mouse button over such button or link.
2.Click right mouse button
3.Click copy shortcut
4.Paste your shortcut into a text box at Play Audio Stream window or paste directly into a playlist.

 

Notes:

1.Please be aware that the full Internet stream address should have the .pls extension in order to play with our software
