net radio?

rocky

Hi,

I listen to some live365.com radios, but they don't work through a firewall like I have at work.

Do you know any good quality net radio stations, that work through firewalls? (i.e. don't need weird ports)

use winamp 5, its got a nice selection of radio and tv stations

RobertFoster

if winamp doesn't work, try iTunes, also has a big selection...including VMR...why I was listening to VMR I don't know.

Whatever program you choose to use, just set it to use port 80 for outgoing connections (i know thats possibly in winamp). It means you won't be able to browse while your listening (i think) but that port is guarenteed to be open for ougoing connections. You can experiment with other ports, such as 8080 or 21, or 2121, see what else works.

No it doesn't. You will be able to browse as normal.

i thought that if you started streaming music on port 80, winamp would "lockdown" that port for its use, and so IE wouldn't be able to use it, thus preventing webaccess (unless its secondary port 8080 is also opened in the firewall).

I'm almost certain that doesn't happen mutant fruit.

I set up the http proxy in winamp, and it works like a charm!

Thanks all.

I think www.powerfm.org will work. Does for me and im behind a firewall.

Warning for all those using internet radio at work. It is very heavy on bandwidth and one of our Employees got in trouble for leaving a radio station on all day. Just in case you work in a Nazi concentration camp like me.

You can use something like HTTPTunnel if you want to listen to stations on wierd port numbers. It'll re-route the wierd port through port 80, but as Daveg mentioned some places don't like you hogging all their bandwidth with streaming audio for 8 hours a day. Specially if it's a small company on a capped DSL connection or the like.
