RETROFORWARD RADIO

Hey, I tried to listen several times and the only thing it does is opening a file named "listen.pls" in WinAmp and it plays nothing at all.
What's the deal with that? I tried to open the link with Windows Media Player 10, and it doesn't work any better.

blasphemy!! 
uh WHAT ?
Since when does the bitrate influence the capacity of a player to play a file or a streaming file? 
I think Jeff'S right after all !!!! 
check the antenna inside your helmet trooper... THX 1138....THX 1138, why aren't you at your post?

open winamp amd select "play url". there you paste this: http://retroforward.qc1.net:8005/ and voila!

Works fine with iTunes.... never tried with Winamp though, I use it only to broadcast.
Shouldn't it be working just by clicking on the link ?
And why in hell does almanso add all this reverb to his voice. Does he think he's my Lord Darth Vader or what?
This site is just way too weird !!!!!!!!!!!! 
the reverb was my mistake, sorry for that. i didn´t notice i had it on until i already had recorded most of the "info" tracks. then it was too late to change it. 
was it too bad? i mean, does it bother you or you don´t understand what i´m saying (besides i don´t speak well in english, that nobody can help it! :p )?
and about the bitrate. the first show went well, i don´t get why i had problems this time. having a cable 512k connection shouldn´t cause you trouble, isn´t it!
I guess not..
I'm starting to have a problem not repeating songs after 3 shows though... it will be tough not to play any New Order again (which I'm trying to do!, because I'm following Mike's New Order show hehe)
Gee, I have currently 40 gb of mp3s on my hard drive and I'm having a hard time finding stuff to play, that's me... 
BTW, the playlist shows an error right now.
To my surprise, I've been able to listen to it from work!! Winamp didn't work at all here, but it works #1 in iTunes...
Go figure...!! and I thought the proxy was the problem, nope...

Check the last song I played this week on my playlist.. 
The only song that doesn't belong to this playlist is a personal request from Kamar.. he wanted a Christmas song
thanx, guys! Ishtar is taking note of all this
btw, Nic, what demo of False was that one? the first FIRST one? how dared you?
Just to let you know... I have now been allowed to spin my favourite music on the radio. Tune in around 19:00-21:00 UTC (i.e., 2-4pm EST) for two hours of various danceable music. You'll hear cheesy euro, electronic music, club, and some hits from the last couple of decades as well as various Swedish gems.
In the next show (January 6) the playlist will include, among other artists: kraftwerk, faithless, teddybears sthlm, kent, vanessa-mae, jam & spoon, basic element, scooter, apoptygma berzerk, and one, s.p.o.c.k, transglobal underground, carl douglas, rammstein.
Let me know (in private) if you want to hear anything special.

No, they are an underwater band.
I listened for the first time tonight. Living in radio dead America this is an Island of refuge!!
I tuned in for the NOOL show. Selected default player and Foobar2000 was the program that popped up. I use this for listening to the flac files from bit torrents. Smooth as silk. No problems except for when I checked email, 3 websites nd a few other programs (RAM issue). Foobar2000 is free and lacks the shit that WinAmp, MediaPlayer and RealPlayer are infested with.
Definitely will have this on again.
I'll be DJing Wednesday's after Nicolas and WenOrder. Expect a mix of Reggae/Dub/Listening Techno and New Order_related favorites. Requests via Messenger.
Well, I tried to DJ, damned Winamp wouldn't work... so I only did half a show since the *ahem* previous owner of the feed had to go after his "shift".
Mea culpa ;) I shall prepare and upload my shows in advance next time, just in case ;)
Mike, let me know when those CDR's get to you. I've got 3 shows' worth of music for you to SHOVE into a guest DJ spot, as per discussed already. (!) Expect some melancholy crap and some New Orderish stuff and some film music. A good time was had by all. Ta!
