Hi Diane,
There are two kinds of radio possible on the MPower. One is the
FM radio, just like the one that's on your sterio, in your car,
next to your bed, etc. You don't need a wireless card or anything
to use it, only headphones, or a speaker with a long cord, which
is used for the antenna. You can get the stations you get on all
those other radios, hopefully. Depending on where you are. I
can't get a thing at my home, but when I visit my mother-in-law,
I get lots of local stations, and it works well.
The things you were talking about, ACB Radio, billsparks.org,
etc, are all internet radio stations. To listen to any of these,
go to the website, find a station you like, and if there's a link
that says something like "Listen with Wimnamp" or "Listen with
Windows Media", click on that link, wait a couple of minutes,
tapping your toes, and perhaps whistling a little tune, and you
should hear the station come in pretty soon. Some of these
stations are regular FM stations that run an online service for
out-of-area listeners. Others are only accessible on the
Internet. But all of them have links and are acccessed through
the Internet. The one thing you really can't do is listen to
anything that says "real Audio" or a .ram file.
Hope this helps. There's a list-box on billsparks with different
genres, and you should be able to find some jazz there. I'm not a
jazz person, so can't help you with that one. Hope the rest of it
made sense, and was helpful.
Happy Tuesday,
Rachael
