Different players supports different playlist formats. Here's a list of which players (Disclaimer: this is in no way a complete list) that supports what format:
| Format | Supported players |
|---|---|
| .m3u | Windows Media Player, WinAmp, iTunes. |
| .pls | Real Player, WinAmp, iTunes. |
| .asx | Windows Media Player, WinAmp, Real Player. |
| .ram | Real Player. |
| .qtl | QuickTime, iTunes. |
We have a mix of MP3 and AAC+ streams available. AAC+ should sound better and use less bandwidth, but if your player doesn't like AAC+ streams, it won't do you any good. Default are the port 8000 streams on the following URLs:
We also support Shoutcast relays - which should show up in the iTtunes radio list, and some other places. Some players may prefer Shoutcast over Icecast - so you may try this with your player as well:
| .m3u | .pls | .asx | .ram | .qtl | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 128kbps MP3 | Average bandwidth, medium quality | Average bandwidth, medium quality | Average bandwidth, medium quality | Average bandwidth, medium quality | Average bandwidth, medium quality |
If you are behind a firewall that blocks, you may wish to use our port 80 URL's - though be careful if you're trying to listen at work (check with your admin before you get someone pissed off. Some of us are admins. So we get why.)
Enjoy!
