Before i switched, I could listen to my favorite radio station from where I used to live while I was online. I try to listen now on the Mac, in fact I try to listen to ANY radio station streaming their feed, and I cant. I get an error saying my browser isnrt supported. How can i do this? How can i listen to the radio stations? It wont work in firefox OR Safari.

Any suggestions?

Which ones aren't working?

Something like this should work just fine:
http://207.200.96.226:8038/listen.pls

a .plx file should work fine, all sorts of them should be fine.

when i clicked OK it opened Windows Media Player and it's working perfectly.

Can't you just find the station you want in the iTunes radio stations?

Not at all. Those stations are pre set, right? Well, the station I want isnt there. I would add it if I could though!

You can open other stations in iTunes. Use the "Open Stream" command from the "advanced" menu and paste in the URL for the stream. This works for anything I have found at shoutcast.com which wasn't already listed in iTunes radio.

I have also used this from streams at www.live365.com

It seems that link isn't working. Find a different radio station maybe... live365's stations work, and any Shoutcast server will work fine.

I'm listening to that station right now. All I did was use IE of OS X and Windows Media player 9. Not to hard. Some sites don't play nice with anything but IE. Terrible really and the only reason that IE is even on my Machine.

I tried it with IE and Win Med Player 9...still a no go. And I cant add it to the iView either.

Kinda frustrating!

I don't think you can add them to the radio list, but I have added a few Live365 stations to a playlist by dragging them there.
