Tuning In To Soft
Rock UK
Click
on one of the buttons below and our stream should open automatically in
your default media player. If you haven't already got it, we recommend
you download Winamp.
It's free, it sounds good, it's a darn sight better and less-fiddly than
Windows Media Player and far less intrusive than Real Player.
Click the Windows Media button below to open a
pop-up window to play our stream using Windows Media player if you are using
Internet Explorer to browse the web.
If you have pop-ups disabled, hold down the CTRL key when clicking the link.
If you are using the Firefox browser this may not work and you may need to install the Mozilla WMP plug-in. Full details on how to do this can be found at mozillaZine
IMPORTANT:
We are broadcasting at 96kbps bitrate to provide the best quality (and
affordable!) listening experience. It does mean you need a broadband or
equivalent connection. Dial-up users will suffer buffering. Another
reason you may not be able to connect to our stream is if you are using
a Streamripper
program. For more information about this see Streamrippers.
If Winamp fails to open the SRUK stream try clearing your Internet Explorer file cache. To do this click on
Tools in the IE menu bar and choose
Internet Options. In the middle box on the first tab -
Temporary Internet Files - click on the
Delete files button.
Technical
Note
All
the songs you hear during the live broadcasts have been digitally enhanced
to be played at 89dB (decibels). Why 89dB?
Because most mp3s will not have clipping at this volume level.
("Clipping" means that when an mp3 file is decoded, some of
the sound samples will be too loud. The player will "clip" these
samples so that they do not exceed the maximum allowable value. This
clipping creates a sort of rough, "scratchy" sound during loud
parts of the song.) This means that all songs are set at the optimum
volume level which should produce a richer, fuller sound and you should
not need to adjust your speaker controls.
