Hear lossless audio on the Reality Radio Streamer p2p radio, but first of all, you need to determine your bandwidth limits.Test your upload and download speeds (in Megabits per second) at 'speedtest.net' (http://speedtest.net). If your upload and download rates are at least 1 Megabit per second each, you can tune in when Back in FLAC is transmitting in 16-bit depth.For certain kinds of audio (some of the less dense 'Avant Garde Project' (http://www.archive.org/details/iaagp) material for instance), you will be able to tune in during 24-bit transmission.Denser 24-bit material will require higher bandwidth, both up and down.Once you've installed Streamer 2.2*0 Player only*, visit 'streamerp2p.com' (http://streamerp2p.com), where you will find the streaming stations list, which spans roughly five pages.Find the Back in FLAC listing and note the bitrate.If it looks too high, try it anyway.The worst that can happen is drop-outs due to bandwidth shortfall.
tools you will need: ' Streamer 2.2*0 Player only*' (http://www.streamerp2p.com/sfiles/installstreamerbeta.exe) (found 'here' (http://www.streamerp2p.com/?page=download.htm)) Accept the defaults; don't fiddle with anything.After installation, start Streamer 2.2*0 Player only*.If you get an error message, it's likely that another program is using your ports 8000 and 8001.Don't panic.Click on the small button depicting a wrench.Click the tab labeled "Port."Enter 8002 in the "Audio / Unicast port (TCP)" field.Problem solved.In the unlikely event that yet another program is using your port 8002 and you get another error message, enter 8004 in the field -- you know the drill.Click the "Apply" button.Next, click the tab labeled "Speed," then under "Bandwidth allocation" enter 999 in the "Upload" field.Enter 999 in the "Download" field.Click OK.Click the "X" in upper right, closing the program. ' VLC media player' (http://www.oldapps.com/VLC_Player.php) (version 2.0.0 hasn't had hiccups for me, can't speak for the two later versions) During installation, check-mark the "Mozilla plugin" and "ActiveX plugin" boxes, if not already checked.Accept all other defaults. Point your browser 'here' (http://www.archive.org/download/TVtemplate/sp2p.html) and click "Reality Radio" to invoke Streamer p2p. Finally, open VLC media player and play the stream by entering http://localhost:8000/sound.ogg (in Media/Open Network Stream/Please enter a network URL) and clicking Play at lower right.

If you still have drop-outs, increase the caching to 74999. (VLC caching is measured in milliseconds). More adventurous VLC users should try the '**in-browser** VLC' (http://www.archive.org/details/BlasphemousCreation) page (by hitting the "play" button therein corresponding to the http://localhost:8000/sound.ogg field).
