    Troubleshooting

    What if I click on the link and nothing happens?

    Based on the personal settings of your computer or iDevice, sometimes your computer or iDevice will not recognize the link as an audio stream. You may have to assist it by opening up the desired media player (Windows Media Player, iTunes, Real Player, etc…) yourself, then you can copy and paste the access link (http://peridot.streamguys.com:7050/live.m3u) as a URL or audio stream.

    How do I copy and paste the URL into Windows Media Player?

    Open Windows Media Player. If you don’t have the tool bar in the upper left corner with the options File, View, Play, Tools, Help, then hit ‘control M’ to unhide your Windows Media Player menu tool bar.

    Once you have the tool bar, click on ‘File’ then click on ‘Open URL…’ and copy and paste the URL http://peridot.streamguys.com:7050/live.m3u) into the box.

    How do I copy and paste the URL into iTunes?

    Open iTunes, in the upper left corner you have a tool bar with the following options: File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Advanced and Help.

    Depending on your version of iTunes, you will either:

    Click File > Open Stream… or
    Click on ‘Advanced’, then click on ‘Open Audio Stream…’ and then copy and paste the URL (http://peridot.streamguys.com:7050/live.m3u) into the box.

    If you don’t have the tool bar when you open iTunes, just hit ‘control u’ (Command-u on the Mac) to open the ‘Open Audio Stream…’ box.
