Streaming Radio Problems

i like to pot in some radio here and there, usually hot talk.


the site i generally listen to, www.wkrk.com is a free fm station for CBS, but i can't get it to stream on any of the browsers on my Mac (firefox, opera, safari)

i right click the link, set it to allow the flash player, i even made it stop blocking pop ups, still no go.

has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it? i'm stumped.

Try that link

WHOA

it opened, the player appeared... firefox crashed and closed down.


lemme try it in the other browsers.

okay, the other two give me a 'page cannot be found'

loads and streams the music for me on Firefox (latest official build)

well... i'm going to uninstall/re install. then i'll try.

hey, thanks for the help.

why does the link work and clicking from the site doesn't? did you find properties or something? i just want to understand how you got it to work (i'm new to the mac thing)

thanks

I went to the link you sent me, clicked the live button, it popped up a registration page, I made up a bunch of junk for it, hit submit and it loaded up the media applet. I got the URL for the media applet and posted it here seeing if maybe you loaded it directly if you could get it going

I tried it here in Safari and it worked and played the station just fine. I clicked monkeys url.

Yeah it worked for me too. Umm. Weird. Turn your volume up ?

there has to be something with my mac os.


i just installed parallels, and it works fine.


could it be a firewall setting in my Mac OS?

Click to expand...

My Firewall in OSX is not turned on if that helps.

Solved

thank you Mac World


for some reason, intel macs need rosetta enabled.

so you close your browser, get info, enable rosetta.

rosetta slows things down (like.. a LOT), so i d/l'ed camino and i'm just going to make that my radio streaming browser.
i was a firefox user, but i've had a renaissance with Safari the last few weeks.
