Nothing here yesterday or this morning. I was listening yesterday when it disappeared. I like to listen with my cup of coffee while surfing the web. Part of my giddy-up-and-go part of my morning.

It was my first look baby that's all it took

I normally listen to it in my office but it isn't playing this morning. Listened to it in the Jeep on Sirius on my way into the office, but can't get it on my 'puter ( tried both Windows & Flash Players).....listening to Spooner Radio instead.

Here's another station:

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

I had the same problem this morning, but it seems to be back and available online now.

It's been kind of flaky for me the last 2-3 days. It'll work, then it'll stop for a while, then it won't work, then I try a couple of hours later and it works again.

Hope they get the technical stuff straightened out. It's really hard for me to work in quiet.

It's been off for a couple of days on my computers.... phooey.
Instead, I have listened to some neat playlists and concerts from Wolfgang's Vault, and especially, I have listened to my brother, who has been streaming his new tracks and now has posted a lot of old and new stuff on Myspace. http://www.myspace.com/dougvarty

Listening today to Beachfront radio, and liking it well enough. Now there isn't even a Windows media linky thingy on the RM page anymore. :-?

RM also has the wrong time listed for the Saturday night concert replays. It shows 8:00 but in fact starts at 6:00 as it has always done. I listened on Flash list night as I do not have Sirrius and it came in okay.

WOW! Gave up on the Windows player, and started using Flash! The sound quality is better, too.
Welcome back to my life, RM.
It will be great to hear the Fruitcakes on the Radio-amateur DJs, including Liz (ParrotHeadInThe Making) soon!

They took that message down, along with the Windows Media stream, it appears.

I guess by "better" they mean fewer options. :-?

Who else does it bug when somebody (ie; website, store, etc.) makes something available and it doesn't work and people provide "feedback" and the solution is to take it away/remove it? :x

That's real customer service, huh? How about a little effort to fix what doesn't work? Or at least a little communication about it being broken, can't be fixed, and is going away?
