Dear Friends,

Our engineering department has been working on new players that will work with most operating system, i.e. Windows, MAC, Linux, Apple applications. Please read below for updated information.

       To accommodate everyone there are two variations of our *embedded custom player. We are transmitting three streams that hopefully will operate on your system. These are identified as Fast , Medium and Slow.

                                   Copy and Paste to your client player (see below)

                                (Fast)                http://stream.frednetradio.com:8002/live
                                (Medium)         http://frednetradio.net/live
                                (Slow)               http://dcnetradio.net:8008/live

*WE STRONGLY suggest using a client side Player as explained below. Our two Embedded Players are also list to the left. There are some reliability issues using these players.

[Below are questions and answers on issues posted by our listeners]

Q: What MP3 Player do you recommend?
A: We recommend:

Windows: WinAMP Lite iTunes also works with Windows
Macintosh: iTunes
Linux, BSD, and other Unixes: xmms, mpg123

Q: I'm listening, but the sound keeps cutting in and out, and my player says "Buffering..." a lot.
A: Try this:

Get the latest version of your chosen player. Visit the web site listed in the About dialog of the player. Alternatively, many players have a "Get Latest Version" feature built in.
If you're using an MP3 player, increase its "Streaming Buffer" preference. This preference is well hidden in some of the players. (For WinAMP, choose the Options -> Preferences menu item, then Plugins -> Input. Select the "NullSoft MPEG Decoder" item and click the "Configure" button. Select the "Streaming" tab and increase the "Streaming Data Buffer" value to 128K, for example.)

Q: How can I open a stream directly in my player (iTunes, Winamp...).
A: Copy the URL of the stream from above, and then you can paste it directly in your player.

In iTunes: choose "Open Stream..." from the Advanced menu (or type Command-U), and then paste the URL for the stream into the text field of the window that's opened
In WinAmp: ctrl-L, a dialog opens, paste the URL

Q: I'm still having problems. Whom should I contact?
A: Please e-mail us and include:

your type of connection to the Internet (for example, cable, DSL , 56K dial modem)
the time and date when the problems occurred
your operating system (for example, Windows XP, Vista, 7, MAC, Linux )
the player application you use (for example, Windows Media, WinAmp, iTunes, etc).
