It's just one person playing mostly '70's songs. It has very little to do with what made the real K/MEN one of the most original & fun stations of it's era.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-74180565561946564512008-03-14T13:15:00.000-07:002008-03-14T13:15:00.000-07:00I have RealPlayer as my default and it works just ...I have RealPlayer as my default and it works just fine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-79903797391378091472008-03-14T04:51:00.000-07:002008-03-14T04:51:00.000-07:00That would be nice.

Older versions of Windows Media Player work, but people have had issues with the latest version. Since this isn't a money making venture, the amount of cash I can invest is minimal, so it is what it is.<BR/><BR/>Sorry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-61226932717737426502008-03-14T04:26:00.000-07:002008-03-14T04:26:00.000-07:00Would have been nice if you had used something uni...Would have been nice if you had used something universal for playback like Windows Media Player or Real Audio...can't even get the thing to play so I guess I'll skip K/MEN...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-36604860375758457092008-03-12T08:06:00.000-07:002008-03-12T08:06:00.000-07:00Harley, it's much better since you fixed the blown...Harley, it's much better since you fixed the blown capacitor and tweaked the stream. I'ts brighter, but you still have problems with distortion. Keep working at it, it's natural to have problems occur when delving into a new venture.

It almost stopped the launch yesterday. Last week, I fried the power supply on the main computer. This resulted in only one channel playing back on all of the sound cards. After tearing the system apart tonight I noticed a blown capacitor on the motherboard, replaced it, and now both channels play in full monophonic sound. I'll be testing a stereo stream soon. If my allocated bandwidth will support it, KMEN129 will stream stereo fulltime. I also installed some processing, so the stream is LOUDER and brighter. I may back down a bit later though. I need to hear it on several different systems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28230378.post-54194731179349158902008-03-11T18:02:00.000-07:002008-03-11T18:02:00.000-07:00I couldn't agree more with the last comments.

I have my computer set up to run thru the stereo. And the jingles??

Also, it would be a good idea if THIS site can be used to cross-promote Davidson's site...in other words, Davidson handles the audio, and Doug can deal with the image displays.William F.
