Techy Stuff

Cleddau FM uses Progressive Streaming (also known as Progressive Download) to offer you the chance to listen live to our RSL broadcast.  After clicking the Listen Live button above, streaming will be initiated with the help of a redirector file working behind the scenes to tell your computer where to get the stream.  This will then cause your associated media player software (if it's properly set up) to open and try to load the stream.  Playback will start almost immediately after buffering a small amount of data.

If you are familiar with streaming MP3 files over the Internet using your favourite media player and would like to add Cleddau FM directly to your media player playlist, you can find the direct link below:

Uh oh... now what?

Clicking the Listen Live link above should automatically launch your favourite media player and begin playing.  However, if you are experiencing problems, here's a few things you can try:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of your media player installed and that you're using a media player that can handle progressive streaming of MP3's. Windows users can download the latest version of Windows Media Player here.  Mac users, run Software Update and make sure that your iTunes is up to date.
2. When you click the link, your browser may ask you if you would like to save or open the associated file. Choose to open the file. If you do choose to save the file, be sure that you save it somewhere memorable.
