Ok, I searched this... but... well, I kinda suck at searching, so it's very well possible that I missed something on it... but...

Is the radio working for anyone else? With the new format and whatnot... it just won't come on... and I don't actually really know how to get around that page anymore either... lol

What are you talking about ? I would really like to understand - -
and help - - if I could! Am I missing something about the radio?

It's working really well for me. Do you get the player window with no sound, or no player window?

There have been some changes to the station this week (I am sooo SNEAKY!) but the changes have been "under the hood"... the methods for tuning in, etc., are NOT different. I am always looking for ways to make tuning in easier, as I know there are still some problems with Windows Media Player, in particular, but the problems are HARD to nail down.

The "Help" page, which provides several other ways of tuning in, is still accurate. Almost everybody can get the station using at least one of the methods outlined there. Personally, I listen using JETAUDIO software because the stream sounds awesome. See: http://www.theinstitution.ca/radio/helptuning.html

The "how to request songs" info is a bit out of date but I'll update it this weekend. Hopefully y'all have noticed that requesting songs is easier; plus, the player window will tell you when requests are being played. Plus, the volume on the station has been normalized, so there is no more "loud song then quiet song then LOUD SONG" problem.

Thank you Kris - and everyone else who runs streaming audio stations. They're great. I don't know how I ever got through a day without them; I'm totally addicted now. Many, many thanks.

So, I've been having problems with the radio, too, now that they changed it. Every time I click on the Listen link, it won't open, so then I right click and it opens up to being "page not available". After a while of trying that, I eventually get it opened, but I'm just not clear as to why it won't work the normal way any more. Any ideas?

I listen to two Broadway stations via Live365 that after you link to them once they then play in iTunes Radio. One is Maximum Broadway Radio and the other is Theatrically Challenged. I never have any problems connecting to them and they both have good Broadway selections.

How do you know what you use? I've always just clicked on the link and it's opened and worked, but it doesn't say what it's using to listen to it.

I've had no problems and listening to the radio feature here is great, I hear my requests and the list of choices is so well done I have been turned on to other shows I have either missed or didn't opt to see yet. Very well done indeed!
