Question Posted Tuesday September 7 2010, 3:47 pm

I'm currently using a Macbook Pro and am trying to listen to my friend's radio show, which is throug this link:

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
From: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

But it says quicktime can't support it and when I click "listen now" I just get a blank black screen.

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

VLC can play it:

Go to [Media -> Open network stream] and input the isumedia.ilstu.edu/wznd URL.

Quicktime can probably play the actual audio stream, but the site is using "ASF Playlist" format, which is quite obscure. I have created a replacement file, which should work better. Try the first link, and send both links to the publisher if it works:
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
The publisher should just host this file somewhere on the site and link to it instead of the "isumedia.ilstu.edu/wznd" URL. No special configuration is necessary.

Tell me if they actually use my version...
