New Feature: CF Radio!!!

[Erwin]

Up in the Navigation Bar at the top of every page is a new link - RADIO - click on it, and you can select a LIVE INTERNET RADIO station to listen to. :)

I will be adding more radio channels when I find time. Feel free to suggest new radio station URLs by posting them in this thread. :) At this stage I am interested only in CHRISTIAN internet radio stations - I've got a few default alternative rock radio stations included but please only suggest Christian ones. :) Link me to the website so I can check it out too.

You need to have Windows Media Player installed for the radio stations to work.

Also, please be patient when you choose a radio station - it takes a few seconds to connect. :)

Enjoy! ;)

[Faithful83]

Cool! Sounds great! :)

But, um, won't that be kind of a server hog?

[TomUK]

WOW! :thumbsup:

[freespirit2001]

God bless you Erwin!!!! You're always thinking so much of all our Christian needs so much here!!!

The innovations of the armor with fellowship have been the greatest!!!
Allowing us to share pictures here---is the greatest!
The Smilies!!!!

I am so thankful for all you give us as members and friends here, Erwin, so affectionately in Christ!

The radio is the best of the best of relaxing Christian fellowship!!!

I have found so many answers, wonderful counsel and strengthening confirming kindnesses, I would have never have found else where, Erwin!

I can't thank my God enough for everyone here!

God Bless All of you here again and again!

Affectionately in Christ,

Freespirit

[college4christ81]

WOW!!! THANKS ERWIN!!! This is great

[Veiled Viper]

I couldn't get it to work.:sigh:

[ischus]

Does ESPN radio count as a Christian station ??? ;)

[caitlincares]

A CF friend pointed me to their Christian station awhile back.

It is www.lifesongs.com (http://www.lifesongs.com).

Lifesongs 89.1 FM New Orleans
Both music and talk shows.

Currently playing a Christmas carol.

[Busybee]

Thanks so much Erwin. I'm loving this feature. I'd been using the Yahoo radio to listen to Contemporary Christian while online and now I've got it here, so I don't need the yahoo one :clap:

[joyshirley]

Hello, Erwin :)

I just tried out the radio and it worked very well for me. Thank you!! You come up with the coolest stuff for CF. Bless you and yours, Erwin. :)

[MQTA]

http://bluegrasscountry.org is the best online Bluegrass radio I know of. They do some pretty good Gospel sets too.

[Dr. Holly]

This feature is such a great addition. Thank you so much Erwin for always giving us the best of the best :) Your dedication to this site is beyond comparison. God bless you for everything you do! :hug:

[MQTA]

The best of the best of the best.

[doofus125]

I have Norton Internet Security and it is on and I can play the radio.
What version? I have had this issue with NIS 2003 and 2004, not sure before that because I didn't try streaming radio. I try to listen to a station in South Carolina and I have to drop my firewall long enough to connect, otherwise nothing happens and it's the same with others too.

[Veiled Viper]

Could someone give me some tips on why it doesn't work for me?I configured my Norton firewall to permit Win Med Player,but I still hear no sound.I even opened WMP manually and nothing.:scratch: WMP works fine for me if I'm using it solo.No problem with streaming music.Just not thru CF.

What settings do you have your firewall and privacy controls set at? Maybe you have them set to high. I have mine set to medium. Have you tried turning off Norton to see if the radio works without it?

[onfire4Jesus]

Thanks Erwin! That was a great idea! Here are some Christian radio stations that you might could consider:
christianrock.net
christian-hiphop.net
christianhardrock.net

[jaimegerise]

hmmmm mines still not working...I click radio, it opens new window...I pick a station, and click play and NOTHING happens....at all...

Mine is 2002. I pay the fee every year to keep it up-to-date but I haven't upgraded to a newer year.

Make sure you have Windows Media Player installed in your Windows.

[Love&Pain]

Yes! It worked for me and I didn't have to disconfigure no disable the auto-protect. :clap: I wasn't going to use it if I had too because this is my brother's computer and I wouldn't want him to get mad at me. :P Thank you Erwin! :hug:

Autoprotect is the antivirus part of Norton Internet Security (or Norton Antivirus by itself), but the firewall is where the issue lies.....Does anyone know how to get it to work with NIS? CF isn't the only place that it doesn't work for me unless I drop my firewall and I would like to fix the problem if someone has a solution for it.

[Veiled Viper]

Make sure you have Windows Media Player installed in your Windows.It is installed.I use it exclusively.I have NIS 2004 with updates.

[doofus125]

What version of WMP ae you using? I'm using WMP 10 & NIS 2004. I go to Stream Audio to listen to music and I have to drop my firewall before I open the browser and choose my station, then I can put the firewall back up, but I don't like to do that all the time. I get the same effect there as I do here at CF and I just dont' understand why. Someone said something about using NIS 2002 w/updates and as I remember that version didn't have pop up blocking, but even if you disable pop up blocking in NIS 2003/2004 you still have to drop the firewall.

[pgp_protector]

Love it, works great with firefox (Nice supprise :) ) and works with both my software & hardware firewall.

If your having a problem, check your version of Media Player, and try to connect to a radio station with just the Media Player, if you can't connect still , check your firewall settings.

WMP 10, I can connect through the WMP radio option without a problem. I can't find a setting to change to allow it besides disableing the firewall.

I'm using WMP v.10 and NIS 2003 and I don't have to drop my firewall to listen to local stations.It just don't work on CF.

No idea to be honest. :) It could be a whole myriad of things. I know that it works for me at home and at work. :)

Couldn't add this - can't get the Windows Media Player URL.

[TomUK]

Is there a link anywhere saying what each station is about - a four letter code doesn't say very much about the music each station plays and there's quite a few currently.

[Manna]

This is a GREAT feature -- thanks Erwin! You're the greatest!

Since I use Linux, I always have a problem with proprietary protocols like .asf from Micro$oft. Fortunately, there is a way to get Microsoft Internet radio working under Linux.

First, download aviplay from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11050

Note that installation may be difficult depending upon the system you are running.

Next you will need to configure your browser helper applications as follows:

Extension: asx asf
MIME type: video/x-ms-asf
Application: /usr/local/bin/aviplay

Please note that I HAVEN'T DONE THIS YET! I have other things I am working on on my system. In addition, Erwin has hidden the exact URL's by embedding them in script. I'm not sure if the precise URL is required or if the script will work.

[theFijian]

Added. :)I was going to ask if you could add UCB Europe (http://www.ucb.co.uk/) but the website seems to be down at the moment. Maybe it'll be back soon and you can add it? :thumbsup:

There's also Premier Christian Radio (http://www.premier.org.uk/) for us Brits.

Thanks for all your hard work! :clap:

[JCMLR]

is it a pop-up radio?

[issa]

The radio's not working for me.

[~Mrs. A2J~]

Are you able to add KVMV FM 97? Their website is http://www.kvmv.org/ It's a shame you couldn't add K-LOVE - that's a really great station!

[Erwin]

I can't add this as I can't find the .asx URL.

[Truly Blessed]

Hi Erwin, A thread brought back to life.

How about http://www.calvary.edu/kljc/index.html from Calvary Bible College and Theological Seminary. 88.5 KLJC on the dial. Contemporary Christian, Sermons, and much more.

[Dawn Marie]

Interesting.

I wish my local station did a web broadcast so you could add that.

WONDERFUL station.

Especially the talk show... Bob Dutko rocks. :D

[Palatka44]

Erwin;
Please try www.BBN.com

[Erwin]

[Palatka44]

Thanks, I will do that. BTW, Great addition to CF.

[Yamialpha]

That's interesting. Good addition to CF!

Make sure you have Windows Media Player installed in your Windows.

What do you mean exactly by that? Mine is not working!:cry: I have media player installed also.

[PaladinGirl]

Oh this so rocks! I open it up and EWTN is the first one on the list! :D :D :D

[BarbB]

http://www.csnradio.com/

Calvary Satellite Network online radio. Mostly preaching and talk. Has some of the best of the best - John MacArthur, Alistar Begg, Erwin Lutzer (Moody Church). Great listening - I usually do so anyway. Also some very interesting non-pop worship music!

[JeffreyLloyd]

I run the CF radio stations. If anyone has Christian radio stations they'd like me to add, just PM me and I will add it if I can :)

[StarSapphire]

It doesn't work for me either. :( I have Windows Media Player installed on a Mac. It only crashes the Windows Media Player and browser on one, and some of the other links have an invalid path. When I go to the actual Web site, and click on the radio, it works! So it is just this site that they will not work for me.

[Mary_Magdalene]

Great! Mine came right up and started playing. Perfect! :)

[CrazyforYeshua]

I love the Messianic stations, thanks!!

[iridescence]

can't wait to try it

[notanordinarygirl]

Wow... Awesome!!! ^^

[ChristianCandy]

Is the radio working right now though?
I'm having trouble connecting to it in the last couple of days.

[JeffreyLloyd]

Working fine for me :)
