Hi,

How do I get to listen to this radio station : http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/ using the Audio Player on the Nokia 770 ?

Pasting the "Listen Live" link into the "Playlist...Add stream..." in the Player obviously doesn't work.

I'd appreciate general guidance for adding streams to the Audio Player Favorites.

Thanks,

Howard

Click the listen now link. It will say something about not having the Real player installed. Ignore this, and click Cancel. Then click the link that says:"Listen with standalone Real player". It will attempt to download or open the PLS file. Choose Open. That's it.

I am listening like that now.

Thanks for your help.

Howard

you are doing nothing wrong, bbc radio uses realplayer audio streams, the nokia 770 presumes all realpayer streams are multimedia streams so associates them with the video player. all you need to do is save the fmg2.ram file to folder and then open it with the video player.

No, that's not what I did - I just let it play in the video player. It played without video, of course, but it played the sound.
