itunes and radio1?

[SooTyLaD]

hi guys?

anyone know how to get radio1 on itunes? can't see it in the listing...

i think you can do it with media player but i much prefer itunes for my music... media player for vids

so... radio1?

 

[SooTyLaD]

no i dont run vista... so apart from the bloated way WMP does the job are there any alternatives? (bar Real Player obviuosly, sod that )

 

[SooTyLaD]

real alternative bundled with media player classic = win.

it's only because of bbc content i have this installed.

i'll give that a go, but i tried MPC a while back and remember thinking how dated it looked, whats the advantage?

 

[SooTyLaD]

by installing real alternative, you don't have to use it. it also installs real media plugins for your web browser so you can use that if you want.

could you elaborate on that bit i can't get my head round what you mean... why would i install real alternative not to use it?

does MPC have its own codecs and stuff or does my ffdshow still need to do its part?

oh ok sounds good guys

i just went on the radio one site to the real player bit (somewhere i'd never have gone before) and i downloaded the "ram" file...

it is now on my desktop and when i click it a nice small instance of mpc pops up and plays radio1 for me... why had i never discovered this before??? thanks people

is this what most people do? is the quality up there/better than the windows media player method? (which doesnt seem as neat)
