Listen to Radio on the Net
Thursday, July 05, 2007 | Tagged: FM Radio, Hindi, Indian Music, Listen, Music, Online Radio, Radio | |A lot of the comments on this blog are in the Radio post wherein people ask me as to how to listen to radio off the net! For the umpteenth time lemme tell you that one can listen to FM stations like Radio City or Radio Mirchi on the net ONLY if someone Re-Broadcasts it. And by Re-Broadcasting, I mean that someone has to take the Radio feed from any FM transceiver and feed it onto a PC through the line-in port and use servers such as Shoutcast's to broadcast the feed that can be accessed by a URL! (phew!). I'll explain in detail some other day.
But apart from Radio City & Radio Mirchi, there are loads of other FM stations that broadacast both Hindi and English songs (Sorry! I haven't yet come across a Telugu station yet!). For the details, refer to my earlier Post: Online Radio. I use the Yahoo Widget mentioned in that post to configure and listen to various stations all throughout the day.
The ones that I listen to most of the time are:
I'd like to warn you that not all of them might be functional : If I don't get a stream from one source, I switch onto the next so can't say for sure which one works round-the-clock! For you to play these streams, you'd need Windows Media Player or Real Player installed in your system and yeah, a pretty fast net connection is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL!
