Hi Ronni,
Thank you for clearing that up.
Now I just have find a way of setting up something to record the
adiosport.asx at a set time.
I vaguely recall Sound Studio as being useful for such things.
I shall go exploring when I get some time.
Thanks
Brian

But it works in QT.
They're streaming in Windows Media Format. The stream will play in
QuickTime Player if you have the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components
installed, but the stream will not play in iTunes.
Apple does not support WMA, that's why. WMA is a Microsoft-
proprietary format. The only way WMA plays on a Mac at all is with
the addition of third-party software. Apple supports almost all
industry-standard formats, but it's not unreasonable for them not to
support proprietary formats, particularly when it's almost certain
that Apple would have to pay licensing fees to use the format.

The I tried loading http://www.abc.net.au/streaming/classic/classicfm.m3u
into QuickTime Player but it wasn't recognized.
It works well in iTunes.
Because iTunes is able to handle M3U's which point to a streaming
source, and the above does.
Quicktime can handle M3U (MP3 Playlist files) but not M3U's which
point to a streaming source.
Well, that's how I understand it, I could be wrong.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Brian,
Normally an Internet Radio Station URL (for Example ABC Classic FM
- which I listen to in iTunes)
is http://www.abc.net.au/streaming/classic/classicfm.m3u in iTunes.

Hi,
I regularly listen the rugby by loading a little file called
'radio-sport-wellington.asx' into QuickTime (double-clicking
loads it).
Examining the contents of the file it has..
(I don't know how this will show on wamug)
<ASX version = "3.0">
<Entry>
<Title>Radio Sport Wellington </Title>
<AUTHOR></AUTHOR>
<COPYRIGHT></COPYRIGHT>
<Ref href="mms://ac1.streaming.net.nz/trn-radiosport-wlg" />
</Entry>
</ASX>
Is this a typical example of a Internet radio station URL?
I've tried loading it into iTunes but it won't work, I tried the
ms://ac1.streaming.net.nz/trn-radiosport-wlg from the file
which wouldn't work either.
It's in the back of my mind that I may need to set up some method
of recording from 'radio-sport-wellington.asx'
and getting it to load at a certain time of the day if I need to
go out when the game is on but am not sure how to do that.
