hi tony and gang further to your recent question about listening to internet radio you might find the below tutorial useful using the Shoutcast site http://classic.shoutcast.com/directory/index.phtml?sgenre=&maxbitrate=999&numresult=25&s=russia Listening to internet radio Using Shoutcast http://classic.shoutcast.com/directory/index.phtml?sgenre=&maxbitrate=999&numresult=25&s=russiaFor this tutorial it is most helpful to download the winamp player which is found in the list of links when you open the shoutcast home page.Then you can pick the genre or type of music you want to listen to e.g. pop, classical, spoken etcOr you can type in a country for their list of radio stations listening by picking a genre 1 go to the shoutcast radio siteAs mentioned we can search for different genres of music by accessing the comprehensive list of genres combo boxTo get to this you can go the long route and tab for a long time , about 30 tabs until you hear jaws say contemporary list of genres combo boxOr a shorter way is 2 pull up the list of links using insert and f7 3 arrow down the links until you hear 'images sc_ live' 4 now be carefulpress alt and m to move to this link, this is the shortcut for move to linkyou will then land on the sc_live linkwe do not want to activate it.it is just gives us a helpful navigation bearing.5 tab once more and you are in the comprehensive genre list combo box.This is a combo box where you can now press enter and then you can arrow down the different genres.6 when you find the genre you want , lets say for example classical,Tab again and you can select the different band widths, which is dutch to me so I just ignore it.7 now tab again and you can limit the amount of results you see or in our case hear on each page. I usually set it at five which is convenient for navigation and later when we create a station folder on the desktop.8 tab again and you will hear 'search for' then tab once more and you will hear search. Press enter9 Your page now has the results of the genre you chose.in this case we asked to be shown 5 at a time.Part 2 Picking by countryLets say you don't want to pick by genre but just want to see the stations of a particular country1 with the shoutcast home page open pull up the list of links with insert and f72 arrow down the list of links to sc_live but again make sure you only press alt and m to move to the link rather than activate it.3 tab again until you hear search for and here type in the country you want4 tab again until you here search and press enter The stations of the country you have chosen will show in the results found5 don't forget you can reduce or increase the amount of results found that are shown6 when the results page opens pull up the list of links again and find the station you want, above the name of the station you should hear something like 'listen tune in' and if you press enter you can listen to that station.Stations folderRight so you have been finding stations all over the world and listened to all kinds of genres in all kinds of countries, but now you are saying, hey I'd really like to have a radio station folder on my desktop where I could have maybe 20 of my favourite world stationsPas de problem 1 go to the tutorial above and find a station you want to keep.2 let it open and if you have the winamp player when the station is playing go to file and arrow down to save playlist.3 basically you are now being asked where you want to save the station you are listening to, so first let the file name be the name of the station4 tab around until you hear save in and let the save in location be my documents.5 when you have added a few stations this way to you're my documents folder you could then create a new folder on your desktop and move the stations to it.6next time you find a new station that you want to put in the stations folder, just repeat STEP 3 and 4 but make sure that your save in location puts the new station in the desktop folder.Happy listening!If you need any clarification on any of the above you can contact me off list if you likePaul H Tigerone@xxxxxxxxxx----- Original Message ----- From: "Cearbhall O Meadhra" <cearbhall.omeadhra@xxxxxx>To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 5:51 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: [vicsireland... etc. Meaningless subject line Meaningless subject line Dear List Cold we please make sure the subject line is accurate, readable and above related to the content?

The big problem for me was the audio, ZT did not read anything on the webpage, like the player buttons or the names of the programs etc.so that was abig drawback for me. But it looks a great idea so I hope they get it sorted. Tony This e-mail and any attached files are from FAS and are confidential.
