OK, we know that sounds a little weird. I mean, "normal" radio stations don't have to tell you "how to listen."
But we know that the Internet is a new place for many of you, and maybe this is the first time you've tried to listen to an Internet radio station.
Here's what you need to listen to Radio LabourStart:
1. A sound card in your computer -- chances are you already have one of these
2. Speakers or headphones
3. A connection the Internet (well, we know you have that)
4. Software that plays MP3 files (oops -- OK, we'll explain that one)
That "software that plays MP3 files" might have scared you off a bit. But don't worry -- chances are you already have software on your computer that does this.
Before you do anything else, make sure to sign up to Live365 (free of charge, of course). You will need to tell it which player (see below) you wish to use.
