Reposting here in hopes one of their DJs may be perusing the forums...
In all fairness, I did email JD Spradlin that afternoon while he was on the air and he did reply in about an hour. He said the stream was outside his control. I'm not sure if he forwarded it on to anyone else.

The last two concerts, I have not been able to get RM using broadband WMP, but if I clicked on the dialup connection, I had no problem.

I've simply given up. No concerts, since I don't have pay satellite. RM online is clearly not an important issue for Radio Margaritaville to fix.... :-? :-? :-?

:( :( :(

I just try and then switch over to dial-up even though I am on DSL. I don't have satellite Radio either, and really don't want to pay for it. The connection has actually been pretty good.

Why can't they at least put a message on the website to state that they are aware of the problem and are working on it?
I also have DSL and am extremely frustrated. [smilie=grrrrrr.gif]

Weird....I've listened every day , if only for a little while...and have had no problems at all....

I have cable modem, but use the dial up connection to WMP and it's right there?

Not weird, this time around. I noticed the low quality link is working, its the usual free high quality link we are talking about. (windows_hi .htm). Previously in this thread, the other times its been down, its been both the high and low quality.

Nope-I can only access it by clicking on the dial-up connection.

They did put a notice on the web site. Too bad neither the low or high speed Windows Media Player currently work at all, and neither does the Flash Player option. I haven't tried RM as I don't have or want that program.

This isn't web site coding rocket science we are talking about here! Therefore very frustrating.

The only positive for me is having found lots of alternate genre stations over at live365, and in turn, some real 'finds' in terms of other Trop Rock artists and bands.

EDIT: The low quality link now works, not the high quality one. The new 'flash' option also now plays, however after a short time it crashed my browser.
