I Heart Radio
Welcome to the Internet! You
are no longer limited by your radio dial. Keep reading to find out how
to get over 120 channels of nearly commercial free Canadian Radio from
across the country on your computer.
The first thing you are going to need is a media player
such as iTunes,
VLC media player,
both of which will work with PC or Mac and are free. It also apparently
works with Winamp
though I don't really know.
You should also check out some of the software available
at all-steaming-media.com
- which lets you do things like record radio as mp3s and take it with
you (or create your own podcast). Some of the software will even make
seperate .mp3s of every song played (that's right - radio is now efficient
file sharing software.)
Ok, you're more than halfway there. Now you just need
some stations to play.
I've gathered, to the best of my ability, the .m3u and
.pls files that will allow internet radio to play in iTunes or VLC.
Some stations still use windows media files or real media, these do
not work and those stations have sadly not been included. I mentioned
above that all of this is nearly commercial free. That's because I have
gathered files, exclusively, from public broadcasters, campus and community
stations. So, depending on their licence, some of these stations may
play a few commercials but generally not.
So get some radio stations
Now that you've got some stations you need to build a
playlist - First take the folder with your stations in it and put it
somewhere convenient in case you want to amend or edit it later.
If you are using iTunes create a new playlist, open the
folder where the radio station files you downloaded are and then drag
and drop the files into the new playlist.
If you are using VLC Player open the controller and drop
the radio station files you downloaded into the controller and then
save as something you'll remember.
If you are using something else (Winamp for example) then
do whatever you do with winamp.
There! You're done. All the free, commercial free, independent
Canadian radio you can eat!
