Hear the Radio on Your Computer
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.
http://www.radio-locator.com/ Is where you can find it and hopefully it has a website.
Start Streaming
Now hopefully you can find a LISTEN LIVE button somewhere in the site. Now click it. You can stop here but hey too easy and you probably already knew that. But lets move on!
