Online Radio?

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Despite struggling with a rickety version of 98 and Media Player 7 (people were ALIVE then?!), I'm now listening to online radio stations at work. But, they're mostly s**t.

Can anyone recommend a good station to be listening to? I'm not going to chance my CD collection in the office, I might not have a sympathetic audience. :lol:

Cheers!

ARE MY RECOMMENDATIONS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU NOW, JUDAS?! :evil: :lol: :wink:

Well, if you want more, you might want to try Digital Gunfire (www.digitalgunfire.com), or Amped Out (www.stoicnoise.net). Don't know how they'll work with yer computer, but you can try anyway.

As though I haven't already laid enough EBM and synth-bollox on you!:lol:

(More to come very very soon, I'm doing ethereal next... :wink: 8) )

We only listen to TOTALROCK.

It's the only station we've found that's got a mixture of variety and requests.
And we DO request a lot!!

As mentioned elsewhere, I hardly think the Company is ready to deal with my more...esoteric music tastes. Nor do I want to risk downloading Soulseek onto the work's PC. :P

Culprit - totalrock's occasionally on, as I browse the stations. It's a bit too hit and miss for my tastes.

Richey - Tried it; can't get any of the BBC stations, for love nor money nor swearing nor hitting it with a big stick. Alas.

really? this place is firewalled up to the hilt and i manage okay. unless you're using the beeb's p*ss-poor excuse for a player? you need to grab the link and open it in media player manually. works for me anyway.

Alas, I can't - media player seven doesn't recognise .ram files, which is how you manually open the feed - right?

Ed - Wouldn't dream of it. Being ripped apart by you is one thing, mounting a feeble defence against the Heartland Double-Xs is just f**king suicide.

If you can download programs get this :

Realplayer Alternative - http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Rea ... native.htm

That should do the job for you. And possibly get Winamp and look through their radio stations.

If I had WinAmp open, I'd put my radio on, but the IP changes with each connect, so it's not really practical.

If you get a dynamic domain name like dark-radio.no-ip.org, then the IP change won't be an issue. I think that they provide a client that automatically updates the domain details every time you come online.
