Re: Listening to stations that are restricted
Hi Ketan! I am not sure if the other surfing facilities will be affected. I think so but am not sure. However to put a proxy adress and a proxy port into tapin radio you first go to preferences which you find under the settings menu. In the preferences dialog there is a button called advanced, tab until you find this button and then press enter on that button. Now you're in the advanced dialog and here are som settings for audio and proxy. Tab to the first proxy adress field and paste the adress into that field. Now, tab again to the port field. Here you have to put the port where the proxy is listening. On the pages i have gone through there are listings with proxy adress and proxy port. Tab again to a check box which must be checked. It allows proxies to be accepted by tapin radio. Tab to ok and press enter. Also be sure that your firewall has the right proxy ports opened. If its a http proxy it listens to port 80 and that should be no problem as the browsers also listen to port 80. I hope this helps. If not then please let us know so we can help further. /A On 2012-06-10 02:42, Ketan Kothari wrote: Hi Anders, No, I don't know how to put a proxy address. Could you help me?

Re: Help needed with last.fm
Hi, I'd argue about the library of last.fm. They've got tons and tons and tons of music that has surprised me. I want neofolk, last.fm has all kinds of bands, pandora has much fewer. If I look at the psychedelic or dark ambient, or different styles of metal, and last.fm beats pandora hands down. Also, when getting into more obscure styles of music, say coil or the legendary pink dots, last.fm's recommendations are way better than pandora's. I'd not, for example, lump Depeche mode, or the Petshop boys in at all with the Legendary Pink Dots. Last.fm pulled some related acts, psychic tv, Nurse with Wound, etc etc, which is more a kin, also, some early industrial like Throbbing Grissle. Even with mainstream stuff, there are tracks off of albums that pandora does not have. I can't comment on spotify. Apparently, it's not accessible, and I hardly have any money to test it right now. twitter http://twitter.com/richardclayppol last.fm http://www.last.fm/user/lord_of_beer msn bellevue@gmail.com skype lord_of_beer - Original Message - From: James Scholes ja...@jls-radio.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2012 5:45 AM Subject: Re: Help needed with last.fm Brett Boyer wrote: Ok cool.

Re: Help needed with last.fm
You misunderstood what I was saying. My point was that as a streaming service primarily, Spotify has a much larger library of streamable tracks than Last.fm. Last.fm has quite a vast selection, yes, but I was making a distinction between streamable and non-streamable tracks. Last.fm is, in my opinion, better than Pandora at recommending new music and helping me discover it on my own through manual browsing because of the huge amount of user-contributed content that is added, through scrobbling and wiki submissions, everyday. So you can be recommended artists and tracks even if Last.fm don't have them available to stream. That is an advantage it has over Pandora. I can't really compare Pandora and Last.fm's library of streamable music, as not living in the US I don't use Pandora that often. When I did try it, I found that a lot of the music it was recommending were artists popular in the North American market, and not a lot of it was to my tastes. But as a user of both Spotify and Last.fm, I can say with certainty that Spotify's catalogue is much more extensive, which is useful when Last.fm don't have tracks to stream. -- James Scholes http://twitter.com/JamesScholes To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

Re: Help needed with last.fm
Hi, I've not had last.fm recommend anything to me that it couldn't stream, maybe it's dew to copyright where you are? Every last song it's recommended I could stream. Oh, I know what you are talking about. you can't stream them on demand, but in many cases, you can add the artist to your library, and the track will come up. That's way more common with more popular bands. The bands I listen to tend to be a lot of brit ausie german bands that don't care, so I don't tend to hit that problem so much. I remember encountering it with enigma.
