Radio Internet? It’s Okey

Think of it! Jazz from Paris, rock from New York, reggae from Jamaica, salsa from Brazil, even polka from Minnesota and bluegrass from West Virginia - and more - all with a few mouse clicks. Web radio, which is broadcast over the Internet, is like shortwave, only easier and better. There’s no fiddling with dials and antennas, no fuzzy or fading reception. Sound quality is usually perfect no matter how far away the station, subject of course to Internet traffic and the limitations of your Internet connection.
Windows Media Player features preset Web radio stations that make listening a snap. It’s an easy way to get started and a great introduction to the music capabilities of Windows XP. Once you’re on the Internet, you can tune in Web radio.
- Click Start, and then click Windows Media Player.
- Click Radio Tuner
- Double-click a preset Web radio station from the list of featured presets.
That’s all there is to it. Loading a station usually takes a few seconds, after which playing begins automatically.
