Radio Scotland

[Alastair]

I have added a new link under the EScotland menu to Radio Scotland. When clicked on a new window will come up and you can then listen to Radio Scotland live 24 hours a day if you wish.

Essentially Radio Scotland is produced by the BBC and is a program with a whole mix of programs. They have news, current affairs programs, music, talk shows, and lots of other programs throughout the day.

The reason I added it like this is that when the new window opens you can just minimize it and listen to the show as you interact with the community. Indeed even after you leave us you can continue listening to it as you browse the Web.

Hope you enjoy this facility.

Any chance of installing a button on the forums headers so we can listen while we're perusing the current batch of repartee?

Oops I stumbled on it by hitting the ESscotland button. Thanks for the add.

Steve is still working on our Jukebox program so we'll see how good that is when he gets it working.

I rather like Radio Scotland for the mix of programs you get. And radio is good as you can still work away on your computer while listening to it. You can't really do that while watching the videos.

I've also added the BBC World Service and BBC Radio 1.

Mind you it had occurred to me that we could create a new "Radio" menu under which we could add a few select radio stations from around the world. Like I could find a couple of programs from Australia, USA, Canada, etc. So if anyone can find a url to a good station that you'd like us to add please let me have your suggestions.

Hey... I worked it out and have managed to add a Radio drop down menu and what is more amazing it seems to work!!!

So... should you know of a Radio station that you'd like to listen to let us know and I'll add them in. I will need either the web site for them so I can find the "listen live" link or if you can provide that I'll try to add it in.

I listen to a Boston-based internet radio station, Highlander Radio on a recurring basis. Their url is: http://www.celticradio.net/php/servi...hp?type=about#

Problem with this one is that it doesn't see to have a live feed that I can use to connect to it. When you play it is there a link in your browser window that gives the url to the live feed?

OK.. I've figured it out but with this one you will need to click on the PLAY button to get it started whereas the others will start automatically.
