Howdy all,
I just purchased my 1st property and would like to stream a channel.
I have other stations that i can stream but this one is a bit tricky.
This is the homepage of the channel

http://www.asianvibrations.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi

They have a station on 365 radio but for the life of me I can figure out how to get it to stream onto my property.
Can someone help a brutha out?
Thanks
Saul

I've heard that Live 365 can sometimes be a bit aggressive about letting you use them to stream if you haven't payed for a membership, and even then they may require all listeners to have memberships as well. Sometimes they are lax and don't bother though.

If you are using Winamp, hit Alt+3 to see the file info. It should show you the actual URL it's streaming from (which may not match the URL you start it with, since it might get redirected).

I'm not familiar with how to get this information from other stream players, unfortunately.

Also you can find a lot of stations at http://www.shoutcast.com/

All the shoutcast stations are free to stream and work well with SL, so if you can't get the one you want working, maybe there is one there which has a similar style.

Good luck =)
