You're using Firfox for browsing? I thought tech - savvy people almost stopped using firefox when Chrome was released. I guess it's much lighter and faster. Extensions are available for this browser in abundance. But I'm disappointed to hear that FoxyTunes is not available for Chrome.

Well, no-one said I was "tech-savvy"

And yes, there are extensions/plugins for Chrome, too, but I have gotten used to some in FF too much to abandon it right now.

I have Chrome, too, however. And IE, Opera, Safari... You need all to test websites (and cross-browser compatibility)

I like Sky.fm and DI.fm. Here are the URLs of some of their free streams. You can tune in using Winamp or VLC. Just go to "Open URL" or "Open stream" and paste everything after http.

Or, if you prefer, here are some of Sky.fm and DI.fm URLs in .pls format for easy opening in Winamp or VLC:
pls radios.zip

If you have an iPhone/iPod touch you can also download the Sky.fm app and listen to these free streams via Wi-Fi.

your answers show that you're tech savvy. Sometimes there's no need to say things which are obvious. Besides, you're the admin of this forum. Admins are always tech-savvy I guess

P.S. please answer all the questions that I asked.

Well, Winamp free and I do not use Win Media player for this but just tried and dragged/dropped my mu3 link into its interface and it started to play.

(And being an admin is rather handling people than being tech savvy actually)

well, the people at SCF must have seen some great thing in you. There's only one admin I guess. You're the chosen one Neo

and yeah. can you please attach the m3u files here of the radio stations that you listen to ?? Thanks

Well, one I sometimes listen to is a classical music channel in Hungary. I have no idea how to really extract the full URL of the channel as it seems to be driven in Flash on the site here:
http://www.mr3-bartok.hu/

There is an "Élő adás" (Live Broadcast) link in blue there. Right click and save as a Winamp file (that's how I do it).

And of course, if you look at the administrators link at the bottom of the index page, you will se that Coen and Tavi are also admins.

Coen is not active ATM but Tavi is the real "technical" person here. I am just here to ban spammers.

Another WinAmp vote here as well. Currently streaming SomaFm's Groove Salad.

pandora.com has a desktop app you can use if you subscribe to their "Pandora One" paid service. I don't pay, but it might be owrth it if you really want a desktop app. I do love my Pandora,

I can't run it . Radiosure.exe contains a variant of Win32/Packed.Enigma.ACO trojan. I'm using ESET Smart security.

Hi rock1, this is strange, I never had virus alert with this software. Maybe you should contact them about that...I'll see if i can find info...
