Listening to radio online!

I have been trying in vain to listen to radio online.... I like to listen to BBC Radio 2 and some of the commercial american stations (Power 96).... A strange combination I know.
Anyhow. It is proving nigh impossible to get my music fix. Either the live player is based on microsoft media player. Or the patch that is required only runs with windows....
I got a mac to escape the pains of windows.. How can I listen to radio without going back to the devil (windows)?

Maybe the Flip4Mac plugin for Quicktime will allow you to listen to those streams?

Erase and Install 10.2.8 -- Now I Can't Listen to Radio Online

After watching my hard disk space dwindle to almost nothing, and after trying unsuccessfully to repair disk permissions, etc., I did an erase and install. Things seem much better, except now I can't listen to radio/music online. I guess I need a plugin such as Flip4Mac, only they don't work with 10.2.8. Any ideas how I can get this to work again?
Thanks in advance.

Ok. It does work for me. It launches the Quicktime player, and the name of the stream is "streamasx_WAAF.asx", which is a container for Windows Media audio files. What I'm thinking is that maybe your Mac doesn't know what to do with asx files any longer -- that the link between file type and application has been broken. Have you tried allowing Quicktime to play all the file formats that it knows about? You could also snag the Preference pane MoreInternet and set up the association between asx and Quicktime that way. If that fails, you could try reinstalling Quicktime, or whatever other programs you have that play streaming media (like RealPlayer or Windows Media player). One of those should work.

Problems with Flip4Mac and/or listening to XM Online Radio

Hello,
I recently started using an intel-based iMac OS 10.5.2. My previous computer was a PowerPC G5 operating on 10.4. On the previous computer I was able to log in and listen to XM Radio Online without any hassle. I could listen via either Firefox or Safari. And I didn't have Flip4Mac installed. The XM Online browser would simply display a miniature version of Windows Media Player and it worked fine.
As with the G5, I tried launching the XM player on the intel iMac with only Windows Media Player installed. This time (with both Safari and Firefox) I was instructed to download and install the Flip4Mac codec. However, doing this merely launches a small pop-up audio player in quicktime. Nothing happens when the play button is hit (in both browsers). And I've already Repaired the Permissions as well and still no luck.
Any help is appreciated.

Yes I have used XM online, and I've always had difficulties getting it to play, even going back to Tiger.
I was just trying to point out there's a general case bug when using the Flip4Mac player with any WMV stream or video that it can go into a tight loop and suck up CPU resources until you quit Safari, though according to Telestream that's been fixed in version 2.2.0.49R of their plugin, available for download here.

Anyone know how to/ if can listen to my XM Radio Online through my IPHONE??

Is it possible to use my XM Radio Online acct. through my IPHONE?

How to listen to FM online on Safari?

Hi, please help me to listen to my favourite FM radio online. I'm from Malaysia and i love the local FM stations. When i try to listen, it says " Safari cannot find the internet plug-in. The page _ has content of MIME type "application/x-oleobject". How do i solve this? I tried Mozilla but same thing....
After reading some answers from discussions first, i tried installing the trial Flip4Mac but no results. Maybe i didn't install it correctly.
I'm so proud of my new Mac but being unable to do this simple thing has my pro-Windows family members laughing at me!
Thanx in advance for your help!!!

Hi
Flip4Mac provides the MIME type
go to Safari > Help > Installed Plug-ins and check under "Flip4Mac Windows Media Web Plugin 2.1.2" that it is installed
If it is then open System Preferences > Other > Flip4Mac WMV and check your settings against the manual in the Applications > Flip4Mac folder
Otherwise reload and install

XM Radio Online Doesn't Connect

Does anyone know how to get XM Radio to work within Safari? The Windows Media Player plug-in tries to connect but never does. I tried the Flip4Mac plug-in and got the same non-result. Essentially the XM Widget behaves the same except that it occasionally connects after a really long wait and other times generates error messages.
The AOL radio player actually does work but does not offer all of the XM channels.
An iTunes solution would be the ultimate right way to go but I haven't seen any way to do that either.
Quick Silver Mac OS X (10.4.1)

I do not believe XM is fully compatible with Safari.
The XM Radio Online portion of the site is compatible. The rest of the site is horrible for Macs though.
Are you getting a -2048 error message with Flip4Mac (I believe that's the error number)? Also, make sure you're using the latest version of the OS as well as the latest version of Flip4Mac. Both work fine for me.
Also, you might want to try my application, ThisWeekOnXM which eliminates the need to open Safari for listening to XM Radio Online.
As per Apple's TOS, I won't receive any benefit from you downloading my application unless you choose to donate, which is entirely in your hands.

Streaming live radio online

Hi, Does anyone know how I can get my Macbookpro (Mac OS X 10.5.4) to stream live radio stations online? I particularly want to be able to listen to radio stations from Rio de Janeiro but I can't seem to get any to work. I've tried downloading Windows Media for Macs and Stuff it! Expander to open it but this doesn't seem to work.
Thanks

WMP And XM Radio online

Hi all,
Was wondering if anyone here has got xm satelite radio to stream. I was able to listen to xm online with the WMP plug-in in safari and netscape, suddenly it stopped working. Tried downloading firefox still doesn't work. Uninstalled WMP installed flip4mac still nothing. Keep getting error message "File cannot be opened. Verify path and file name are correct and try again." Have even tried the widget. XM hasn't been any help. Anyone have any ideas.
Thanks

Sorry for the delay Eric, but I'm still trying to figure out these forums, which have now grown with the Intel thing.
So let's see...... It's the XM radio problem again Eh?? You're getting the same error message I used to get. In fact, I got that error message again today (when trying to play the Widget) and thought of you. I just loaded the Widget again, and relogged into XM, and it worked. Broke a sweat though worring about it again for that 15 seconds.
I did so many things I'm not sure what exactly solved my problems. That "Audacity" program was the main problem I know for a fact. Audacity even knocked out my keyboard volume control once.
1. Do you have the Widget loaded, and it used to work?
2. Can you just go to the XM site and will that play?
3. Did you remember to go into Apps.- utilities- MIDI, and make sure that the audio output is no higher than 44100Hz's??
4. What about calling XM and having them reset your password??
My XM now works by typing in the XM address via both Safari, and from that XM Widget thing (which I can't remember where I got it from).
I'm now using the Xitel Pro HIFI link and routing all (not just iTunes) computer sound (when I want to switch off internal speakers) to my home audio system via the usb port. It's great! Remember, we talked of Xitel before.
So Eric, I guess I'm not sure what else to tell you. I feel that if you don't know what to do..... We are all screwed, ..... As you are the one who always seem to know how to fix the problems.
Good Luck, and let me know how you are doing with this issue.

I cannot receive audio from several of my internet music sites such as XM Radio online since switching to Firefox 4 Beta 1 - Help

I cannot receive audio from several of my internet music sites such as XM Radio online since switching to Firefox 4 Beta 1 - Help
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.xmradio.com/player/listen/playerShell.action

I should have explained further. The game opens in a new window over to the upper left of my screen, leaving the original page underneath. I tried minimizing it so that I could get to my toolbar and did the View > Zoom > Reset. This has no effect. The lower portion of the game is still not showing. Using other browsers the window or frame of the game is much larger, therefore everything shows.

How can I listen to radio (firefox) and play a game at the same time

Samsung S5 / lollipop When I listen to radio and switch to another window, the radio stops playing.

Hi mmm2015
I assume you are using Firefox for Android to listen to radio in one Firefox tab and you are switching to another tab and the music stops right?
# Could you please let us know the URL of the radio website?
# As well could you please let us know the exact steps you followed to reproduce this problem?
Cheers!

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

I am trying to listen BBC radio news from BBC App, but on pressing the button "live radio" I always get the error "there was an error playing this radio feed". What is the source of this error and how can I remove it?

That is probably just a generic error message and you might not ever know what is causing it. Assuming that you have been able to play live radio with the app in the past (I know nothing about the app) and assuming that all other Internet related functions (Safari, email, etc.) are working properly on your iPad, quit the app completely and reboot your iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that fails to resolve the issue, you might want to reboot your router, unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

Why do I keep getting an error message saying that I need to check my internet connection when I try to listen to Radio? I ran diagnostics and my internet connection is fine. I can also access iTunes Store no problem??

Why do I keep getting an error message "An error occurred while contacting the radio tuning service.Check your internet connection or try again later." This happens when I am trying to listen to Radio (obviously). I ran diagnostics and it said my internet connection was good. I can also connect to the iTunes Store with no problem. Any ideas?

Hi,
Maybe the radio connection on the other end is not working. Hope this helps.

You'll need to purchase the necessary add on such as this one: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Radio-Remote-iPod-White/dp/B000MTEER4
