- Listen on iPhone:
-
- Get the software (Windows):
-
- Get the software (Mac):
-
- Mac users should use the Winamp/VLC/iTunes 9 directory with the orange buttons.
- Apple iTunes 9 now supports Tuner2 HE AAC streaming! CAVEAT: it only supports HE AAC v1, so any streams less than 40Kbps will generally play in mono.
- Download VideoLAN VLC for Mac OS X to get aacPlus v2 Stereo.
- The VideoLAN project has a support forum you can visit for help.
- Make sure you assign the .pls file extension to VLC. Once done, Safari will launch VLC directly when you use the Winamp directory.
- How to assign pls to VLC: Save any .pls file to the desktop. Select it and edit properties using Command-I. In the dialog box, select "VLC" from the drop down menu under the "Open with:" tab. Click "Change All..." to make the association global. Now all pls files should open with VLC.
- Shout-out to Kevin McCarthy and Eric Ortego for the following tip! To get Firefox to use VLC, there are a couple more steps. The first time you try to launch a .pls, it will ask if you want to use iTunes. Check the "do this everytime" box in the dialog and click OK. Quit iTunes (because it will fail to play). In Firefox, select Preferences->Content->Manage. You will see that .pls has been assigned to iTunes. Edit that entry with "Change Action..." and change the assignment to VLC. Voila. Now you can open VLC by default. A forum post related to this topic is here.
- Note that VLC does not yet support 5.1 surround.
- Avoid the Winamp surround sound gotchas by making sure:
-
- Winamp is configured to use DirectSound, not wavOut (should only be critical for 5.1)
- your sound card DirectSound driver actually supports 5.1 output. Cards may require that you check the 'Allow h/w Acceleration' box in Winamp (e.g. Audigy 2 ZS)
- You aren't using the mp3PRO plug-in decoder from Thomson (you may have to manually delete it)
- Winamp owns the .pls playlist formats (iTunes and Windows Media Player can be greedy for the .pls type)
- Windows Media Player is not set to play as a toolbar inside the IE browser
- Please visit the Winamp support forums if things are still going awry.
- Go back to the directory and click on 'Listen now' to stay tuned!
-
- Main directory with stereo and surround sound.
- Blue 'Listen now' and 'Live Radio' launch Tuner2 inside Windows Media Player to listen with the AAC+ plug-in.
- Orange 'Listen now' and 'Live Radio' generate a PLS file to listen with Winamp, VLC, or Apple iTunes 9.
