Guest Spring06 Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Hi: First, I'm NOT familiar with Windows Media Player to begin with. Now, however I am inclined to listen Radio Station, particularly 'Country' that plays 'oldie,' like '70 to up-today. My question is; (1) How to access Radio Station which plays 'oldie-Country Music?' (2) After that, I want to copy any songs that I can listen any time at later days. How to do that? Is there any restriction to make song/Radio copied? Thanks any help on this regard in advance.

Guest windmap Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Re: Windows Media Player and Radio Station Radio Stations on Internet Web Sites In your Web browser, you can use a search engine such as Windows Live Search to search the Internet for radio stations and listen to them using Windows Media Player 11. For example, you could search for radio stations in your city or radio stations that play jazz music. After you locate a radio station's Web site, follow the instructions to begin streaming the station to your computer, if this service is offered. For example, some stations have a "Listen Live" button on their Web page that you can click to stream their music. Radio stations that can be played in Windows Media Player typically display the Windows Media logo , and the stations may also let you select Windows Media Player as the listening format. If you know the URL of the radio station stream (for example, http://www.contoso.com/radio.wmx), you can play that station in Windows Media Player. To play a radio station in the Player if you know the station's Web site address In Windows Media Player, press CTRL+U, and then type the URL for the live stream of a radio station in the Open box. The station begins playing in Windows Media Player.

Well, the first thing to do is to find one. If there is a radio station in your area that broadcasts this kind of music, see if they have a web page. They may already offer an audio "stream" of their programming. If so, you'd just have to make sure that your computer is equipped to play it (you will need a sound card or integrated sound, speakers and an appropriate media player) and then click on the link that would load it. > (2) After that, I want to copy any songs that I can listen any time at > later days. How to do that? Is there any restriction to make song/Radio > copied? This will be a little harder, mainly because you're not supposed to do that. Whether you agree or not, this would be a violation of copyright law in most locations. The audio that you hear from a "streaming" audio feed is relayed to your computer almost as-it-happens with only a few seconds delay, and isn't typically stored by most players (other than another few seconds worth of audio for buffering purposes if your internet connection drops out temporarily...). You might consider obtaining music legally instead of just copying it off the audio stream. Music stores such as Amazon, Windows Media, Zune or iTunes all carry lots of songs at a low cost on either an album or track basis. Some of them will sell a plain old MP3 file that will play on almost anything. There exist audio tools that will record almost anything your computer is playing through its speakers. A web search should turn some good possibilities up. You may also have something that is included with your computer that would do the job. William
