For me it just says WMP can't play the file.
Mon. 8/11/08 9:20am

I saved the 32k stream to my desktop and fired it up in realplayer. that got'er goin.
Mon. 8/11/08 9:20am

32k Stream working

Damn - Im sorry everyone
will see what I can do about it
Mon. 8/11/08 9:22am
From:
Jim
I'm stuck with using WMP at work, b/c that's the only program they let us install. If that don't work, I'm assed. I'll just read the titles and make up my own songs.

Liz B just showed up and assured me that SHE will fix it!!

Kevin - thanks for the advice. It's working for me.

I know you are working on this but the 20k Windows Stream is not working either..for a minute there I thought my IT dept finally figured me out and cut me off..noooooooooo...
Like Jim, WMP is the only thing that I can use at the office.
Mon. 8/11/08 9:32am
From:

ALL streams are now dead. Liz B fixed it alright!
Mon. 8/11/08 9:33am

Well that's only fair.

From:

Jim and GP: Not that it'll help until the streams go back up, but I was able to install Foobar2000 on my locked-down work computer, even though I had *NO* admin rights. It plays any stream. You should see if it'll work on yours, too. Then you don't have to suffer the evil Windows MP audio quality.

did moon girl fix it??
Mon. 8/11/08 9:45am
From:
GP
Ike,
Thanks for the info. I just tried it and it was a NO GO, they really have us locked down...I really need to design or find a Firefox media player plug-in that is not Windows Media Player. I think having the FFOX plugin is one way around a locked down system but I am not sure.

I got [128k MP3] on iTunes...
Mon. 8/11/08 9:51am
From:
Liz B.
Looks like I've resurrected 128k and 32k MP3 streams and the Ogg stream, but the computer is saying "catastrophic error" for real and windows streams, so I'm thinking this might require a cup of coffee. Oh wait Doron is here with his surgeon mask...

go LIZ!

For anyone in need of a low bit-rate alternative to the MP3 stream, try AAC+
http://wfmu.org/wfmu_aacplus.pls
(works great with VLC Media Player, freeware -

windows stream is back...
Mon. 8/11/08 10:03am
From:
GP
It is indeed....Thank you to Liz and Doron...Windows stream working just fine now
Mon. 8/11/08 10:04am
From:
Ike
Liz is wise. AAC+ stream sounds good on Foobar2000 although the current song info seems to be a bit off.
GP, I had to try it a couple of times. It installed the second time. I had to uncheck a box that said virus-something-or-other.
Mon. 8/11/08 10:06am
From:
doron
GP: totally unsupported and just something we were messing around with but this might help: http://wfmu.org/player/
hit the play button.
Ike: current song info was down for a bit while looking at other things.

Doron,
That standalone did not work for me , but the windows stream is still working fine for now. The BBC used to have an awesome stand alone player that would play their live stuff and also their archives, but in a boneheaded move they abandoned it for Real Player...arghhhhh! And now....."Music Please"

by jove, GP must be the only other person in the universe that knows that samarkand is an ancient silk road city located in uzbekistan....... good show of geography there, GP!

Oh cool it's working. And something pretty cool is on!
Mon. 8/11/08 10:41am
From:
GP
I didn't even know they had a space program?
Mon. 8/11/08 10:43am
From:
Ike
NGH, I had to look up the location of Samarkand recently because this evil company is squatting on some even URL with "Samarkand" in it. Like "Samarkand-travel.com" or something. No wait, that's not it. I was guessing Iran, so I was wrong.
I hate this job.
Mon. 8/11/08 10:47am
From:
Ike
Oops, that's "evil URL" not "even URL."
We just got loud thunder and hail here near Grand Central. Zeus is expressing his disapproval towards evil web squatters and the dullness of midtown, methinks.

Had to look it up as well, name sounded familiar, but did not know actual location...Queen of Venus = HOT!
