If you're an XM subscriber.. If you're a shortwave listener... If you're not an XM subscriber... and you don't have shortwave.... Here's the deal: That should be all you need... but computers aren't always that simple, so..... Once you access the stream, save it to your favorites in whatever player you're using-- then you won't have to come back here each time you want to listen. If that makes no sense, then copy this URL and keep it on your computer: http://mac.mystreamingserver.com/Rollyestream.m3u This should work with virtually any .mp3 player you've selected as your default. (I say 'virtually' because computers are quirky and have their share of issues, to put it non-technically. So if one player you're trying to use won't pick up the stream for some reason, forget about it and use another one!) Caveats on listening to the stream: To hear the show live, we have to be broadcasting live. That takes place Monday through Friday 10 PM - 1 AM Eastern / 7 PM - 10 PM Pacific. The remainder of the day you'll hear a streaming replay of the previous show. As it's a stream, you'll pick it up in progress and can listen until you're bored. It generally takes me less than half an hour to edit and upload a file once the live show has ended. You'll hear something during that time (probably music) and the replay should start generally by 1:30 A (ET) / 10:30 P (PT) weeknights and will replay continuously until the next live show. (I say should because occasionally I get busy on other things and am delayed getting the stream up in a timely manner.) If you can open a webpage, you can probably open this stream. There are no firewall issues. It's http. Port 80. You don't need to know what that means. NOTE: If for some reason the info above does not work for you, you'll have to do it yourself. It's not hard. Here's how: 1. Open your favorite player. NOTE: QuickTime users skip to point 4 now. 2. Find the menu where you are able to enter a URL (hint-- on Real Player choose "File" and "Open Location" and then you'll enter the URL I'm about to give you. Using iTunes? Choose "Advanced" and "Open Stream". (It's 'Control L' on Winamp, but since I don't use Windows, you're on your own to resolve it if you have a problem.) 3. once you have the URL pane open, copy and paste this next line: 4. Using Quicktime? Choose "File" and "open URL" . Once it's open, enter this: 5. Once you access the stream, save it to your favorites. If you're a Mac user, iTunes is probably your best bet. But all players should have a way to save the URL so you won't have to enter it again.) .mp3 Progressive Download info: If you'd rather download the show and listen at your leisure, go to www.mystreamingserver.com and you'll see a perma-link. Click on that link to download the show. Here's the URL: http://www.mystreamingserver.com/Download/RollyeReplay.mp3 Copy it and save it to your computer so you can access the download directly at your leisure, in case you can't or don't want to go to mystreamingserver.com daily. I generally get the show up within an hour of it ending live, but not always. The show will remain available as a download until it is replaced with the next show. There is no long term archiving of shows. You've generally got 24 hours to get a show or its gone forever. www.mystreamingserver.com will also have a list of interviews you can download. They're usually up for weeks, if not months. Check the site from time to time to see what's available. NOTE: If you download the show to your browser and it plays for a few seconds and quits-- you're not alone or without luck. It's a glitch in QuickTime and it happens occasionally. There's an easy work around: Right click on the file you wish to hear and save it to your desktop.
