Flexible Listening Options

There are many ways you can listen to our stream. Windows users can always use Windows Media Player, but other players are available. VLC Media Player is a universal app that works very well on all platforms, including Linux, Mac, PC, and mobile devices. iTunes and Quicktime are also available for Windows and Mac. If your system downloads a file called "listen.pls", just open it to start the stream.


Listening On Mobile Devices
The above links will work on many mobile devices and smart phones. For the Apple iPad/iPod/iPhone, you have a wide choice of apps to download from the iTunes App Store that will play our Shoutcast stream. If you are using an older model iPhone, you may need go into the device settings and enable "Allow hi-bit streams."

If you have an Android device, there are many good options. Although officially retired, Winamp is the Grandaddy of all music players and can still be found here. Another excellent open-source multimedia app for Android phones and tablets is VLC Media Player; it can play any of the stream links above. Finally, there is no shortage of other Internet Radio apps on the Google Play Store. One of my personal favorites for Android is Xiia Live. Available in both a free and a low-cost Pro version which adds extra features, it is highly configurable, contains a built-in database of all Shoutcast streams, and automatically displays album cover art. If asked to enter an URL to play, use the following:

http://sc9.shoutcaststreaming.us:9052 for the 128K mp3 feed, or
http://sc9.shoutcaststreaming.us:9054 for the 32K AAC+ feed.
