FM 104 and the Mac

silvine

Anyone know how I can listen to FM104 on a Mac? Their streams aren't OS X or iTunes friendly. I've tried a few radio widgets without much luck too.

I just got it working with vlc. was just about to give up but then it blasted out of my speakers....


download vlc www.videolan.org

then file open network and enter http://media.vistatec.ie/fm104/asx/fm104.asx

it still doesn't connect but then click on the grey triangle next to fm104 then highlight the lower fm104 and click play or double click.

I bought a RadioShark from eBay. It's absolutely brilliant

Radioshark is great but thats not a web stream. Its an FM receiver but I would recommend getting one for Mac or PC as it can be used like Sky+ for rewinding live stations and recording. I recently got a great bargain and bought one on eBay for €9 incl P+P as no reserve and no bids but you can buy new for around €50.

VLC is the best media player for Mac/PC. To make it even better get the VLC Lite remote (FREE) or the even better VLC Remote for iPhone / iPod Touch. It turns your computer into a media centre and you can browse all files directly from remote with full controls.
