I've been having trouble with the PHNL/PHJR feed and after listening with different programs to various feeds including my own, I was wondering which media player each of you use to listen to a feed. I get different results with each player.
Sometimes a feed will have trouble staying connected with one and not hiccup at all with another other. With some players some feeds can get wacky. I am curious to see what the everyone is using. Personally I find that iTunes works the best for me on the majority of the feeds. Any comments or additions are welcomed.
Aloha,

I use both Itunes and Windows Media Player and they work flawlessly for me.
What else do the rest of ya use?
-
I use or atleast TRY to use iTunes, but mine hasn't been working for a couple of weeks.
-
My mac dieded, so i havent downloaded iTunes for PC yet. Otherwise, Windows media has a cool scope visual!
-
I'm listening to JFK currently, using XMMS on my linux box. Works perfectly.
BL.

I-Tunes works great for me, no problems.
-
Just so you know, my iTunes program conks out after 90 secondfor any ATC broadcast and fails to rebuffer. I did some troubleshooting, uninstalling and trashing old files, no differnence. Is there a possible feed quality issue?

Doubtful. Have you tried another program like Winamp to verify whether it is your Internet connection that's causing the trouble?
I have seen connections for many hours with no trouble.

Yes I have. I tried to download a Winamp program for eMac, but I wasn't sure which application to select from my hard drive. I tried a friend's computer in Peterborough who used winamp and that worked and was far more attractive than iTunes. I also tried to open the file via Real Audio player, but that doesn't work.
-
Good day folks. I downloaded a recent version of Real Audio for mac and it's working much better than iTunes. Except that the Toronto center frequencies I'm monitoring, kept getting disconnected every minute or so and automatically reconnects.
-
I use Winamp. Works great.
-pocho :wink:
-
I switched to Real Audio now instead of iTunes and it's working like a charm. I noticed I don't lose the connection once 2 min's rolls around. I'll keep using Real Audio :D
-
WinAmp FTW (for the win).
-
I use VLC Media player under Linux. Works well I guess.
-

-

I like Winamp because it comes with a bunch of different colors- j/k. No it's just basically a music player- pure and simple, no strings attached- although I think there's a video player in here somewhere.
I like Media Player sometimes, for watching the animations if I'm bored. Or speeding up or slowing down a song, just for kicks.
-
MusicMatch works fine, although sometimes it will randomly stop.
-
I changed to Winamp after having trouble with RealPlayer.
:(
The trouble was, me :oops:
Didn't R.T.F.M :roll:

I've only been using LiveATC.Net for a few days... I chose "other" in the poll because mostly I've used my networked (by hacking) DirecTivos to listen to audio streams. It's sort of fun to get bored of TV and in a few clicks be listening to ATC! If I am near/on my PC I use Winamp.
I took the "all" list and grabbed just the "Status: UP" entries, made a playlist.m3u file and put it onto my box that is running JavaHMO. I used the JavaHMO interface to add that playlist as "Air Traffic Control audio".
The box running JavaHMO, in turn, makes the LiveATC (and other stuff like movie showtimes, wx maps, etc.) available to each of my 3 networked DirecTivos.
By default, DirecTivos aren't networked, but if you have a Series 2 DirecTivo that is NOT an R10 model you can add networked features so that it can do most of the same networked stuff that a standalone Tivo box can do - see http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=265929 for info on getting networking going.
I am also able to securely access my DirecTivos via the web to setup recordings, check listings, etc.

Windows Media Player, seems to work ok.
-
I would use Windows Media player, because it connects better. Thanks from Hobbyist.
PS LiveATC.net got a different web-site. I like it.
-
I use iTunes for a lot of the feeds, but the actual mp3 and video files play better on windows media player, so I will use that as well.
-
Winamp 2.95..all that new Winamp stuff is bloated. Plays flawlessly for me using 2.95
-
I use Winamp and RealPlayer! They Both Rock! :-)
-
Now that I am using a Windows based computer, which winamp program uses the alpha tags or displays the frequency during the transmissions?
-
Just installed Winamp..... Now I understand why it's so popular! I like it much better than RealPlayer.
-
I'm not too computer savy so here's a ' stupid' question. When I click on an airport to listen to Windows Media comes up and starts running numbers at the bottom of the black box...then like an hour later I can hear the feed....then if I change airports it starts over ..another hour. I use media player for some saved files, which comes right up and plays. So what s up with this? how do I link it or download it so I can listen to a feed when I want..not one a day.
-
i use itunes and usually get up time of 2+ hours. occasionally it will drop but it's right back up, and it's more than likely traffic on my work server rather than anything to do with itunes.
i like itunes because it leaves it in the playlist so doubleclick and i'm away.
-
The Media Player (Windows) seems to work fine with all feeds.
I recently banned Winamp from my disk, so i just use the WMP.
-
Hi I'm a newbie I use wmp with no problems whatsoever
-
I used to use Musicmatch Jukebox untill I updated it and it doesn't work any more, so now I use iTunes and it seems to work great.
-
I'm another newbie who uses Winamp as it has always been
my personal favorite. Also it's user friendly.

I just prefer Windows. I know it's the world standard and a lot of folks would prefer that it wasn't.
-
Windows Media Player ...
I like the way it blends on with the taskbar.
No need for winamp since WMP11 does it all... :-P
-
