Bring up "www.xrmradio.com" in a web browser ... get all the different styles they offer showing up in something like iTunes and then view the URL in the info tab dialog and you will get the exact URL you need. At least this is what I do.

And in case you don't already know, because I didn't and it took forever to find the info, to get the actual URL of a station you need to open the playlist in something like notepad (text editor). Then you can extract the actual URL from the file. I ended up buying a radio because technology is, like, you know, so hard! /me twirls a stray lock of hair in her finger, giggling.

I find that using Shoutcast works best as you can then listen to the music before linking to the station. They also have one of the largest selections I've seen:
Go to http://www.shoutcast.com/
Download winamp player (free version)
Click on the 'Tune in' button for the station you want
If you want to use that URL just right'click over the rolling display in Winamp (Where it tells you who is playing) and select 'Get File Info'
'Copy' that file info and 'paste' into the media tab in about land
Sounds long-winded but it's not really..takes a few seconds.

Remember, many URL streams change so you may need to renew it now and again

I don't suppose there are any competitors to Shoutcast that don't have 20/20/20 web sites?

(A 20/20/20 web site is one that is designed by, and only readable by, a twenty-something with 20/20 vision on a 20 inch or bigger monitor. I've seen bad web sites in my day, but shoutcast's is hideously incompetent, the worst of the worst.)

If you already have iTunes, you don't need to download anything new...it'll play on there too. Then you can just right-click on the listing, choose 'Get Info,' and the URL shows up at the bottom of one of the new window's tabs.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

I hate to disagree (the Kid gloves approach...) but yes he was! Arrested for the first time at age somewhere between 14 & 16yrs. Hanged between age 22 & 24.
