Started doing something similar on my own site about a week back, didn't know there was a dedicated site out there already, looks nice but can you tell me how I can listen to the mods on my iMac here... :)

Sorry for being such a dummy but I can't seem to get it to play anything... :)

does the itunes link not work?


I didn't try that one cos I don't use iTunes (especially if it takes you to their store)... :(

On my site I just converted the mods to MP3 format and when folk go there they play automatically or the visitor can select from the list what to listen too and download them if they are a member, is that how your site works as I love listening to all those brilliant old mods... :)

 It's a SHOUTcast station, same as it's sister site The SID Station (c64). You click on the link for your chosen media player (WMA,Winamp,Real,Qtl) and it plays in a rotational stream. If you can't get it to work please let me know, as I've no apple hardware to test it on. Cheers.


Ahh.. I see... I did have RealPlayer but it's very flaky on Mac OSX10.5 I'll try streaming it in QuickTimePlayer and couple of others I have and see if I can get it to work in them... :)

Cheers

@ Dr.Bongo

Clicking on things all I get are small text files download to the mac called "playlist.ram" and "listen.pls"...

I've tried pasting the URLS into both Safari & Quicktime player but nothing happens except on Safari where I get taken to page with ShoutCast D.N.A.S. Status and the listen tab when clicked just downloads the above mentioned files again...

QuicktimePlayer just comes up with not a valid URl and quits... :(

I'll need to scour the net and see what info I can find to get this up and running on a Mac... :)

@ Dr.Bongo

It's not a complaint... :D

I only use this mac for the net and don't know a lot about it (or the net for that matter) it's most likely I haven't installed something or I'm doing something wrong... :)

Usually a quick look round the various Mac forums solves these wee problems for me... :)

I'll let know when I get it working and just what I was doing wrong... ;)

I am a mac user and listen to the Mod station all the time.

Ahh... thanks for that info I've got VLC on my other iMac so I'll copy it over and give it a go... :D

PS:I Tried it in QuickTimePlayer Ver10.6.4 on OSX 10.5.8 but it kept coming up with "URL not Valid" other streams work in Quicktime but not this one... :(
