LISTEN LIVE TO 3CR MELBOURNE OVER THE WEB

3CR is now streaming over the web, so you can listen to 3CR with your computer no matter where you are.

If you're new to streaming, or if you've never listened to streams in aacPlus format (as opposed to mp3 or Real Media), then follow these steps.

Step 1 - Install the software you need to listen.

If you're not using your own computer, you may not have the permissions to install software. Ask your system administrator to do it.

Choose ONE of the software options below and read the instructions.

SOFTWARE FOR WINDOWS:
Note: Real Player is not a compatible player and will not read our streams!

Winamp	Download and install Winamp Lite. IE users: just select the stream in Step 2, and you're away! Mozilla/Netscape users: select the stream for your connection in step 2, and open it with Winamp. Done!
FooBar2000	Download the installer and install FooBar2000. Then, open your browser and click on a link below for your connection. If a question appears to open or save the link, choose open, and find the FooBar2000 program. FooBar2000 will then start reading the stream.

Using Windows Media Player with Orban Plug-in

Windows Media Player alone cannot read our streams. However, you can install a software 'plug-in' that will enable you to use this player.

Step 1 - Get the plug-in

Go to the Orban Web Site and get the plug-in (click on 'GET IT HERE' near the top). Download the installer and run it to install the plug-in.

Step 2 - Tell Windows Media Player where to find the stream

A quick way to start is to open the player, go to the 'File' menu and select 'Open URL'. Copy-And-Paste one of the below links into the URL.


icyx://150.101.166.22	Use this URL if you have a low-speed internet connection, such as dial-up. (bit rate: 20 kb/s)
icyx://radio.internode.on.net:8120	Use this URL if you have at least an ADSL/DSL internet connection. (bit rate: 48 kb/s)

3CR streams in the aacPlus audio format, which we think is the best choice for high quality Internet audio.
