  Not really.  It will only work in your browser if you were careless
about security and installed Flash.  It won't work in any of my
browsers.
Good day,

Pandora's good, but the streams are 64k (I think) and mono also,  
the station that I like is a Christian radio station that has not only  
music, but teaching/preaching etc. and it's a 128k stream.

Pandora will play anything you like and let you program it too. Is it
better than that?

Pandora will work on any browser.

To play any sort of Windows Media content on a Mac you need Flip4Mac's  
Quicktime Plugin:



You may already have this, if the radio station plays in Safari. It  
may be that iTunes handles the radio stations differently, in which  
case you can't add it to iTunes.

stream requires windows media player?

2009-07-01 Thread MacGuy 

Ok, here's the problem:
There's a really cool radio station online that I like... I go to the  
website and it says I need "windows media player" to listen to the  
streaming radio station, right? And this radio plays fine if I use my  
browser (Safari) to play it in. BUT, when I try to add the station URL  
to iTunes :

http://www.macobserver.com/tmo/article/Adding_Internet_Radio_Station_to_iTunes/
Then it will not play/stream the station? do I need a plugin for  
itunes to make this play? some kind of "windows media plugin"? Jeff
