Windows 10: How to play Tunein Radio on Windows 10

Hi jimbo

Thanks for the explanation. I'll go for the MSI.

Cheers

 

Can you give the name of that particular station?

 

@ PiKo

It's called 101FM Logan Radio or FM101 Logan Radio. I've found it after googling

 

It is simple after you have installed the vlc player of Videolan on your PC. An excellent and often used mediaplayer for audio and video. Then, go to the Website of your station. Press listen now. Above you see icons of iTunes, Windows and vlc. Press vlc. Save listen-live.m3u The corresponding icon appears on your desktop (otherwise you have to look for it on your PC). Doubleclicking on it gives immediately your station.

 

Hi there

That works of course but the advantage of using a SERVER for streaming is that you can stream the content to remote devices -- you can often use a PHONE as a remote handset as well so you don't have to be sitting in front of the computer. A Phone can also be used as the CLIENT so you can listen on that too.

It's often a drag to be stuck on the local computer when you just want to listen / watch stuff on a remote device -- I'd go for the SERVER / CLIENT solution every time these days rather than a stand alone application that needs to run from the PC and you have to listen via the computers sound card etc.

Another advantage is that a server can serve to multiple devices so if you have several people with different devices they can all listen as well.

VLC can stream multi-media but its fiddly and you have to start the wretched app from the PC -- with a SERVER application once the server is running so long as you don't reboot the PC you can just forget it - and these types of apps especially for audio use minimal CPU / Other resources.
