Rich,

What are you using to play this stream the site offers me two format choices and neither one can be read by the software that is installed on my work computer. They won't let me load RealPlayer for "security" reasons (I think it is more because they don't want to deal with the bandwidth it would consume on the corp. network) and  Windows Media player will not read the files sent when you click on the MP3 link.

Since I am in NYC the easiest think would be to just fire up an FM radio, but I am more curous in case something like this comes up that is from a station outside of NYC.

The stream is hosted by shoutcast. The Shoutcast website lists WinAmp as suitable player.

The stream won't open in my Windows Media Player either. I listen to it on my Sonos.

The direct link to the mp3 stream is:

If you have Real player installed on your computer that would work too, I assume.
Foobar should work, I'll try that later.
Good luck!

Yes foobar works.

Save the playlist file to HD ("listen.pls") Then from foobar command menu: File | load playlist | "listen.pls" | OK. Then double click the playlist in the foobar play window.
