Editors note: Gerfnet radio tuner was effectively made obsolete by the fact that most modern browsers play media directly. However, some reader may find our static <\/strong><\/span>Internet Radio<\/strong><\/a> page helpful for finding stations and addressing other problems that may arise.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/blockquote>\n

The internet radio tuner<\/a> is cross-platform compatible and should work on any modern operating system. If you are still using M$ Windows, chances are you will see the Windows Media Player above the station selector picklist. This is actually a fairly good player and should work fine on Windows systems.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We use Linux and our machines use either MPlayer<\/a> or VLC<\/a> player. I am a big fan of the French-developed mulit-platform VLC player and as a standalone media player it is a “must-have” application regardless of whether you run Linux, Macintosh or Windows. But as a media-player-plugin, the Hungarian-built Mplayer is hard to beat and is the one we currently recommend for GarfNet’s internet radio tuner.<\/p>\n

It is important to understand that the radio streams listed in the internet radio tuner<\/a> are not<\/strong> provided by GarfNet. All we have done is provide a selection of links to them via our tuner page. The GarfNet internet radio tuner<\/a> web page actually calls the media player from your machine and links it to a variety of on-line radio stream sources. Thus no radio content is delivered from GarfNet<\/strong> at all (apart from the initial recording of the now-defunct “Lincolnshire Poacher<\/a>” spy station).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
