Windows Media does not support the files (codecs) presented by the URLs you suggest. My iTUNES is broken, and I'm finding it very hard to get your classical stream. Why isn't Windows Media showing you in its clickable list?
Get the free winamp player. Then you can go to shoutcast or straight to rnwclassical.com. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the tip. I may try winamp. Itunes worked fine until an update failed and now I have no iTunes. I managed to get the free Realplayer to play RNW, but the sound is less stable.
Get the free winamp player. Then you can go to shoutcast or straight to rnwclassical.com. Hope this helps.
Went to my Blackberry App store and did a search for RNW and found nothing . Please help!
There were some serious problems with the BlackBerry app ánd its availability, but these are all solved now. Please try once more...
