Modern radio stations can not only be tuned, you can connect to them. The fact is that in addition to the traditional broadcast, almost all radio stations broadcast on the Internet. Some radio stations broadcast only on the Internet. You can connect to them subject to a stable connection, a browser, and special programs.
Instructions
Step 1
Launch your browser and open the site of the radio station you are interested in. Even if you do not know the exact address of the radio station, write its name into the search engine, and a link to the site will appear at the very top of the search results page. On the main page of the radio station's website, click on the link "Listen to the broadcast" or "Live broadcast" (or similar). After that, a new browser window will open, which will look like a media player and a non-standard size. In this window, you can adjust the volume, as well as change the bitrate of the audio stream (the higher the bitrate, the better the sound) and even pause the broadcast. When connecting to the radio using this method, turn off the pop-up blocker in your browser, as this may interfere with the launch of the media player window.
Step 2
Start the media player installed on your computer and check the Internet connection. Then go to the site of the radio station and find on it a special link to the broadcast with the extension.m3u or.pls. Copy this link, then go to the player and find the "Open URL" item in its menu, then paste the previously copied link into this field and click the "OK" button. Usually on the sites of radio stations various on-air links are posted, which differ in the format of the stream or its bitrate. Therefore, when choosing a link to listen to, be guided by the data on the connection speed and the player's support for one format or another. You can save the broadcast link as a regular playlist and return to it at any time.
Step 3
Open the moskva.fm website. This project brings together all Moscow radio stations broadcasting on the air and on the Internet. In order to connect to a station of interest, find it in the catalog or using the built-in search and click on the "Listen to the broadcast" button. In addition, this project allows you to listen to archives of records of almost all radio stations presented on it.
