Media player help

One of the local radio stations in the UK offers a live listen feed and i am unable to get it playing through my ibook.
It works fine through my PC and I have tried downloading all the mac WM players etc with no joy.
Here is the link, any help would be appreciated.

It looks like the site does support Realplayer streams. You can get http://www.realplayer.com/ free through the golden button on the right hand size of the page. And then navigate to the same point in the website and use Realplayer. The only format that doesn't work well on older Macs is DRM based Windows Media Player. Ask any places that use it exclusively to use Real or Quicktime instead.

  • Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra VS Winows Media Player - Help?

    I have a 40gig Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra - a computer crash a year ago resulted in a replacement by the computer company - and it came with Windows Media Player.... when I tried to run it and had already installed the Creative software/Music library - Media Player crashed my computer every time - had to uninstal...,. now - that computer is defecti've and has just been replaced again by the maker - and before I load the Creatai've Software wondered if this is what is interfering with Media Player? Does anyone know? When I buy music it looks for Windows Media Player I believe - and I can play it and transfer the music in Creative program - BUT - it no longer lists my music library as single songs but as folders - and I have to go specifically into a remote folder to try to find the downloaded music and transfer to the Nomad....
    Any help is appreciated..... I'm lost!
    Thanks

    The firmware update only works on a windows XP machine.
    you also need to have Windows media player 0 installed
    you must not have windows media player or windows media player runtime lurking in your windows XP add/remove programmes bit on the control panel.
    if you do have WMP first remove it ( roll back) then re-boot, then remove windows media player runtime ( rioll back) and re-boot.
    open windows media player, if it is windows media player 0 then you should be OK, if its windows media player 9 you need ot download and install windows media player 0.
    Check again to make sure that windows media player and windows media player runtime are not in the add/rmove programs.
    Back up everything on the player, all music, playlists and data files.
    update the firmware.
    if it stalls part way, like it did for me the last time i updated a Zen Xtra ( last weekend -installing a new motherboard ) dont panic.
    it will go to rescue mode, close the firmware update, the player will go to rescue mode, then re-satart the update, on the zen xtra, slect re-load OS then on the firmware update click on English. then slect re-load os on the player.
    make sure that the player is fully charged, and that the mains charger is also attached.
    just out of interest, when you remove the front panel on your zen xtra to get to the battery, does the headphone jack ( visable through a hole in the top right) have a blob of red paint on

  • Audigy 2 windows media player help ple

    Hi, i have sound blaster Audigy 2 and when in windows media player or other media players whenever i use the search bar ( to ff/or play diff part of film etc) the sound goes really loud even though i've not touched the volume control, just the search slider. Does anyone know why this happens and how i can stop it's, very frustrating if im listening or watching and want to goto another part of song/film, i want volume to stay on what i started at.
    Many thanks to anyone who can help me

    Darren,
    I used to have this problem too and it's due to some codec pack(Klite) I have installed. Reverting to an older version fix the problem for me.

  • Safari & windows media player - help

    new to mac and I feel like an idiot. trying to download windows media player and have followed all the steps on previous posts, but still having problems.
    Downloaded stuffit, and then wmp 9 ( for mac). Everything downloads fine except that there is no windows media plug-in in the Internet plug in folder in Library. How do i get it in there? is it something really simple that I'm missing? Also, previous posts seem to indicate that you just can't watch CNN video from the link on their website?

    Tania, after Windows Media Player installer downloads to your Desktop, double click the installer to begin the installation. After it installs, Repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility. You'll have to set the preferences for the Player, but it is possible to watch the free videos on CNN.com.

  • Internet, and video or audio and media player--HELP

    Ok...maybe its me but I had a powerbook before this and now I have the Macbook Pro. I'm trying to go to like MSNBC news and play video or audio content that needs either media player or something else. I went to microsoft.com to download media player for MAC OSX and it downloaded a file with an extension of *.sitx and when I clicked on it, my macbook didn't know what to do. Just to clarify--I still have a Mac right so I can't download media player for windows based computer??? anyone have suggestions on what to do?

    The suffix means it's a Stuffit file (Stuffit is file compression). Stuffit Expander is a free application that can unstuff it. You can get it here: http://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/index.html
    I did what you did and found that the MSNBC video player did not consistently recognize that I was meeting all the requirements. I was using Firefox at the time and continued to get the dialog about download this and that. I switched to Safari, got that dialog once, but then it started working. I haven't tried it again in Firefox. Note that the player says it is Beta software.

  • Downloading windows media player help!

    A lot of movies I try to watch on the web require WMP. I went to Microsofts page and downloaded the OSX version. It went straight to my desktop(looks like this: windows media.sitx) When I click on it, it give me an error saying ERROR OPENING MOVING. It looks like it is trying to use quiktime to open it. I am new to mac, so if anyone has any ideas how I can download WMP it would really help thanks!!!

    If you have an Intel Mac then you probably don't even want to fool with WMP as it is not universal and Microsoft has stopped development of the product for the Mac. You might try Flip4Mac instead.

  • QuickTime player/ Windows Media Player help

    I downloaded the WPM for mac and it is installed correctly with StuffIt. My problem is that when I try to open a WMV file, my computer tries to open it with QuickTime and then says that the file type is not recognized by Quicktime. How can I change the settings so that I can view WMV files in WMP?
    When I try and play the Windows Media Sample.WMV the computer still tries to use Quicktime.
    Thanks in advance!

    Right click the wmv file and select get info.
    There is an option to select the program you want to us e to open this file type.

  • Help needed with N80 media player problem

    Hi,
    My other half owns a N80 and he deleted something on his phone and now when he goes into media player it says there are no tracks. All the songs are in his track library but you have to manually select which songs to play instead of playing them all.
    Is there a way of getting the media player to find the songs?
    Thanks, Carrie.

  • XM Radio Help With Windows Media Player

    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.
    I got the AOL radio player to work but it does not offer all of the XM channels.
    Quick Silver   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Well, I just signed up for a 3 day trial at XM and listened to a couple of songs through Safari. I'm not certain which version of Windows Media Player you have installed. If you don't have version 9 then head over to Microsoft and download it. If you do have try re-installing it and see if that helps.

  • (HELP!)How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod

    How can I import Windows Media Player Playlists, into iTunes Playlists, with Music . .  for an iPod
    We are having no luck with the thousands of songs we have to manualy add to a particular playlist in iTunes alone. .. there must be a simpler way! How can this be done . . . if there is and it's complicated, is the Genius allowed to help us out with this? They seem to only master Mac's only. .  or can they help us? PL E A SE E E  HELLPPP!

    tt2,
    Your very helpful and knowledgeable. I for one appreciate all the hardwork and help you have been giving the people on theses lists, especially with the problems associated with the "importing playlists" from windows media. Unfortunately I need more help if you or someone else can provide it. I followed all the steps you have instructed so far in the threads I have seen. Unfortunately nothing so far works for me. Maybe you or someone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. I tried the notepad++ method and when I click on save I always get a notepad file that my iTunes can't do anything with. I click the "convert to UTF-8 without BOM" then click save as and it still saves as a notepad file. I am also unable to find the \n\ file path to replace with my \C:\ filepath. Here is a copy of the first part of one of my playlists:
    <?wpl version="1.0"?>
    <smil>
        <head>
            <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Windows Media Player -- 12.0.7601.17514"/>

    Now I went and switched the part from  <media src="..\ to <media src="C:\ in all the files in hopes that was where I am supposed to have my drive letter but it didn't seem to help. Please forgive my encoding ignorance if that's what my problem is. I hope you can help.  Thanks in advance.

  • Uploading files from windows media player to itunes need help!

    Some of the files WMA are protected some are not. When I uploaded itunes real player files transfered to itunes. How would I go in to change the settings in windows to unprotect the files to have them transfered to itunes. Help please

    iTunes will not accept Window Media player tracks that are protected. If you imported them off your own CDs, did you check the option to apply protection to them? If so, your only choice is to re-rip those CDs.
