Wellp, regular programming is back

Back to being able to listen to streaming indie at http://wwwnew.towson.edu/wtmd/wtmdlive.smil

Live streaming had been stopped during the 897 albums month. I wrote and told them I'd contribute... as soon as they gave me back my streaming. They must have gotten my letter and others like it, because this morning the announcer said, "those of you who were waiting for new music that you can't hear anywhere else, we're back!"

Pandora and other sites like it are ok, but there's something different about their streaming indie radio that I missed. Maybe it was the announcer talking about the bands, or maybe it was the fact that they often play genres I wouldn't have thought of listening to on my own, and so I was able to find out that I liked something I didn't know I liked...

Oh and let me add that I'm really happy that I can actually listen to this on my FreeBSD machine and it's not some Windows hack site. Thanks again for the link.:)

You're welcome! I just managed to get the streaming to work (sure beats trying to get them by regular radio from Rockville.)

They never did have a very strong signal. I remember I used to have problems picking them up some times back when I was a teenager in AA county which is a lot closer to Towson than we are. I've got it running, now with the mozilla plug-in for mplayer.

Me too - Rialian still has to get the right plugin, but it's working on mine.
