Listening to this station for the very first time

Last month, one of you wrote in to say what a difficult time you'd been having trying to listen to our station. Having just experienced a computer crash, and having to re-set up the tools I use to listen to Radio LabourStart, I thought I'd share with you what I did, step by step.

1. Go here to launch our station from within Live365's website.

2. If you're using Mozilla Firefox with a pop-up blocker, as I do, you'll get an error message. Ignore it.

3. If you're not yet a registered user of Live365, register. But you don't need to download their software.

4. On the Live365 page for Radio LabourStart, you should see the option "Listen Settings" near the top of the page. Click on it.

5. Under 'MP3 Player', select the option 'MP3 Player'.

6. Now when you click on the big yellow 'Play' button, it will launch your MP3 client software (for example, WinAmp) every time.

Works for me.
