[The Ghost Of Fudge]

and they hate me.

so can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

i click on the link, a file download box appears, i click on 'open', the dvd player opens, and some edit playlist thing. remember, seriously, i try to have as little to do with computers as possible, certainly for listening to music on as the speakers are shit, and i have no idea what's going on by this point. i've never seen the box before. and no matter what i do, nothing much seems to happen. ahem.

any suggestions appreciated, i'm sure someone knows what they're doing

When the download box appears make sure you open the file with something like Windows Media Player or WinAmp. It should then just work like magic. Make sure you have broadband though - if you only have a dial-up connection to the Internet then don't even bother to try and tune into the radio station.

It doesn't ask me what I want to open the file with.
Like Brain, it just opens as "Power DVD".
Hmm.

Okay, in that cause launch WinAmp or Windows Media Player etc and then select the option Open URL and paste in:

My god, you're a speedy replier.
Anyhoo, I did that and got this happy message:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.".

It's just not happening.

Okay, try the following URL in Windows Media Player:

I managed to open it on Winamp, but all I got was a big mess, speeded up voices etc, what's the problem with that one?

That is not your fault. It's a fault with the MP3 encoder on the radio station - I've fixed it for now but I'm working on fixing it for good.

Its probably being playing that garbled nonsense for hours today.
