Hear the Radio on Your Computer

PRE.JPG
I will tell you how to make a radio station on your desktop. You will need a internet connection the whole time. Windows Media Player or VLC player(any will do that has a stream capability) to stream it, a photo editing software(adobe, GIMP, Paint.NET etc.)(optional).I used Mozilla Firefox.I am not sure if this works on Chrome but if it does or doesn't please tell me.

Find the Radio Stations Website.

If you need help changing the icon all you have to do is copy the image and use a photo software to save it as a ".ico" or icon
