I can't hear anything.

Can anyone tell me how to listen to the stream? I click on Windows Media Player to listen to the Spirit Of Radio and it just says \"ready\". I click play and again it just says ready. No sound.

I know it was down a couple of days ago due to server maintenance, but it's up right now - I'm listening to it!

What version of Media Player are you using?

We've had reports of problems with various versions of Media Player - you could always try Winamp - it's free, and it ALWAYS works.

Scott -

I'm having some problems as well, although it may be a browser issue with me.

Using IE7, when I click on the WMP link, it opens another screen that comes up ' IE cannot display...\" error message.

When I use the Winamp connection, I can connect, but I get frequent pauses with buffering (like every 4 secs or so) but this might be due to another program that I\"m running at the moment. IIRC the other nite, it ran ok on Winamp, but would not start WMP. (I'm using WMP 11)

It depends what is playing at the time. There are close to 1,000 tracks on there that play, and some of them are featuring CFNY-produced (and award-winning) commercials - so yes, sometimes you'll hear just commercials for a few minutes. Then you'll hear a show. Then you'll hear music...it's more or less random.
