Our archives and live shows are broadcast in Windows Media Format.  Since Macintosh does not include a Windows Media Player in their computers, you will need to download a free Windows Media Player from Microsoft (Click Here for OSX).

Macintosh users often experience problems once they have installed Windows Media Player. You may need to make some adjustments on how you connect to audio links through your WMP, depending on your Mac Operating System.

One way to circumvent problems is to take the URL of the audio link and paste it directly into the Windows Media Player (See #4 below). If you want to listen to our live audio stream, you can also try downloading the file which may then force the player to receive the stream, www.wsradio.com/livestream.asx

Difficulties in listening from Macs are common. In an ongoing effort to make our stream and archives available to more of our listeners, please feel free to research the issue and let us know anything that might help with accessibility at this Mac/Windows Media Discussion Group
