With the development of high-speed Internet access services, many traditional media have moved to the network. One of the first traditional media on the Internet was radio, which can now be listened to anywhere in the world with access to the global network. There are several ways to tune the radio.
Instructions
Step 1
The vast majority of radio stations have long ago acquired their own sites on the Internet. In order to listen to this or that radio station, you need to go to its website and click on the link "Listen to the broadcast" or "Live broadcast", which, as a rule, is located directly on the main page. After clicking on the link, a new browser window will open in the form of a player, in which you can adjust the volume, change the bitrate or pause the audio stream. If your browser blocks pop-ups, then disable this function for radio station sites, otherwise there may be problems with loading the player.
Step 2
There are radio stations that broadcast primarily on the web. These radio stations work in such a way that you can listen to their broadcast using a media player installed on your computer, provided you have a stable Internet connection. In order to tune a radio station in the media player, you need to find a link to the broadcast and open it with it. The broadcast link must have a.pls or.m3u extension, the same as for regular playlists. Links to the broadcast are different, and they differ, as a rule, in the bit rate or the format in which the broadcast is conducted. Select the format and bit rate based on the speed of your Internet connection, copy the link to the clipboard, open the media player, click the "Open URL" button, paste the link into the field and click "Open". The link can be saved as a playlist and opened at any time.
Step 3
You can also tune the radio on the Internet using special services for listening to radio stations. The most popular project of this kind is the moskva.fm website, which contains all the radio stations broadcasting in Moscow. With the help of this site, you can listen to the live broadcast of any radio station, as well as listen to the archive of any program that aired at any time. The huge archive of radio broadcasts of the site allows you to share a link to any radio time of all radio stations participating in the project.
