Choose Your Player And Connection The links here are set up for Winamp, Windows Media Player (WMP), Realplayer and iTunes. Broadband users have many choices. Dial-up users have Winamp at 24k or Windows Media Player WMA option which streams at 32K on a dial-up connection. If your browser asks for your permission for you to download a file, do so, then click open to save the file to your temporary folder. More information on connections is available a bit farther down on this page. Additionally, you have the option of using the embedded Windows Media Player by clicking on the Web Player button below. Port 80 Streaming Our Windows Media server is Port 80 compatible for those behind corporate firewalls. Just choose WMA Dial-up under the Windows Media Player options to the right, or you can use the Dial-Up Embedded Web Player option below. Embedded Windows Media Player Click on the Web Player button of your choice to open the embedded player. Streaming Audio Connections Four different types of audio streams are available for listening To Lead Me To The Rock Radio; 24K aac+ and 32K Windows Media for Dial-Up users, and 64K mp3 and 128K mp3 for Broadband users . The 24k aac+ stream is available only by using the Winamp Media Player or the Orban plug-in for Windows Media Player. To tune in, click the "Listen" button on any Lead Me To The Rock web page. This takes you to the custom launch page. Click on the appropriate connect button for your situation; Broadband or Dial-up and preferred media player. You may also use the embedded Windows Media Player on this page. The broadband link plays the 128K mp3 stream, the Dial-Up link plays the 32K Windows Media Stream, which is also port 80 compliant for those behind restrictive firewalls. AAC+ Streaming Audio Dial up users may access the 24 kbps stream with the latest version of Winamp Media Player downloadable here. There is also a codec plug-in for Windows Media Player available for aac+ streams from Orban downloadable here. These are absolutely free to download. Please read the instructions in the readme.txt file if you use the Orban plugin for WMP. There are some very explicit instructions to follow for it to work properly for streaming live audio in the aac+ format. Dial-up users may also access the Windows Media Player 32K stream. For broadband users, Lead Me To The Rock Radio should stream on all standard media players, such as RealPlayer, iTunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp and many others. Media Player Associations If your computer loads the wrong media player by default, or not load a player at all, even though you select a player that you have installed on your computer, you have a conflict with your media players. To resolve this, go to your media player that may be causing the conflict, navigate to the preferences area and uncheck any boxes marked "MPEG Audio and MP3 Playlists." Once that is done, try connecting again, and it should load the audio stream in the player you selected. You may also need to set the correct associations in your new preferred media player. Stream Quality In our humble opinion, the 24K aac+ stream sounds nearly as crisp as the 128K stream. The 64K broadband stream has FM quality sound. The 128K has very good sound, and is our best quality stream. The 32K WMA stream is excellent for Dial-Up users, and sounds quite good for the low bitrate. Are you confused? Try a few choices to see what sounds best and works the best for you. You won't hurt anything on your computer by clicking on the various options. Other Issues If you are unable to resolve a connection problem, shoot us an email by going to our Contact page, and use our contact form. We are not technical experts, but we will try our best to help. Finally, realize at times there may be issues with congestion from the streamserver, power outages and computer crashes that may affect your connection. If you try to connect, and can't, or the audio drops out and you lose your connection, try to re-connect. If you are still unable to connect, or hear nothing, please try back at a later time. We do our best to keep the streams running, but sometimes things occur that are out of our control. Thank you!
