I would like to find a decent news radio site to listen to during the day. One that carries Rush Limbaugh.
All the sites I've been to recently require me to down load some spy-ware plug-in just to listen to a windows media stream. They didn't use to require this and the streaming quality was just fine.
I listen at work so I can't just down load plug-ins willy-nilly. I'd like to just find a site's URL that I can drop into Windows Media Player's open URL and it just play. Without it then opening up a browser window forcing me to download some plug-in.
WLS out of Chicago worked fine for a while but they have been down for days now.
RealPlayer isn't an option.
I went to the "hiwire" companies website. It said it wasn't spy-ware but was created to get around some kind of strange radio union/advertising law. And supposedly, that’s all it does.
I guess it blocks the advertising from the radio station and replaces it with their own.
It looks like all of the radio stations are going that rout so I might have to give it a try.
Thank you for the help.
