Hf Radio, What, How, Why? Options Rating

It should not happen. Try re-installing the winamp.

Pradeep, how do I play winamp?
I threw out real player as it was always popping up as the default streamer and now winamp does not play.
I noticed that even after making winamp the default player for all file types it does not play on double clicking a file. U have to open the file to play. Is that the case with everyone?

Priya, there was no need to throw real player out. What will you do if you have to play a real file - rm, ram etc.? For a file to be played as default on double click on winamp you will have associate the extension, .mp3 with winamp. To do that:

1. Launch winamp.
2. Press Ctrl + P
3. Click on File Types under General Preferences.
4. Click and select all the file types that you want to associate with winamp.
5. Click on close.
6. Close winamp.
7. Go to any mp3 file and double click to test.

If you are installing real player again to play the real files. Then do the same steps again to associate mp3 files with the winamp.

Well now I have thrown it out and I cannot dl again. No free dl available.

But this winamp thing not working for me. Just now tried listening to U. It buffered for several secs and then played one nanoseocond of Ur song and then conked. Earlier when Sani wa splaying I could hear a bit tho it rebuffered every alternate sec.
Another day when hits played and I was listening on real player I could listen throughout without any rebuffering at all.
What could be wrong?

[Pradeep]

At 24kbps also you cannot listen? At what rate do you connect to your ISP? Try disconnecting and reconnecting to your ISP. And while listening to Radio don't download or upload.

I hope you are using the latest winamp 5.11? Any version above 5.08 would work.

Download free real player from here: http://forms.real.com/netzip/intl/intl_get...type=rp10_en_ap

[Priya]

I dunno at what rate I connect to my isp. It says 115 kbps.
Dunno if it is right or wrong.
I can listen but it breaks off. However last time I heard hits at an odd hr of the night India time it did not break at all. That was real player. This goes on rebuffering and sometimes just stops.
Haan latest player hi hai. Kal hi dl kiya.

[Pradeep]

How can it be 115 kbps? or is it 11.5 kbps? Try in the night time.

[Priya]

Mere ko yeh sab nahin maloom. Me bad at maths.
Well 115,200 bps.
Why should night make a difference when each phone has an indiv data cable? Or does it have to do with the load on the reliance server?

[Pradeep]

Something wrong with the configuration then. Ideally if you connect at 112.5 kbps, you should be able to download at max of 14kbps. I remember you were saying your download rate is 4 kbps. I guess you call those reliance guys and ask them give to give you a huge discount if they are unable to give what they claim. If you sit quiet they gonna make mince meat out of you.

[Priya]

No no I dl at 8 kbs Pradeep. 4 was the maximum I got on bsnl.
Ispar 14 to kabhi nahin mila. Maximum is always 9.
But they do not claim that na. They tell U that 115 is just a figure and U will not always get that speed. Cunning creatures. But altogether their service is far better than bsnl. Wahan to even if Ur phone conks no one gives a damn.

This slimy worm crawled out from under some fungus-infested stone and occupied the DJ spot and streamed silence, just to prevent a scheduled broadcast.

Dang …..so some one was using "ultrasonic" kinda music…

[LEGENDRAFI]

I would love to be a DJ and play some memorable Rafi, Lata songs. However, I am unable to get the password nneded for playing the songs. Kindly help Pradeep Ji.

Hi Pradeep

I presume the url for listening to HF Radio has also changed with shange in server.
It used to be "http://66.98.199.117".

Please let me know the new address.

TIA
