Alastair, I used the link given by Tom, then selected 'Listen Now' - clicked the first one offered, and the music played - yes I am on my laptop, as the main machine has stopped working !

Also I did NOT 'Login' to the site.

You're right. The popup does not have a link. I wonder if we could contact them and see if they would allow a link to ES? I don't want to get above myself, so I thought I would see what you think.

The Highlander Radio had a 'menu' that opened a drop down window. One of the options was 'Web Tools' which opened to additonal options, one of which was 'link to us'. The link page provided the following: "Here are the official Celtic Radio banners that can be used to link to our site. By placing one of these colorful banners on your personal web site, you will help spread the word about our Internet radio broadcast and our web site! Not only that, but your visitors will get to hear some of the best Celtic music this side of the Internet!"

I copied the live now playing code for an example. unfortunately since it is not a url it does not show the player in these forums.

That's because we don't actually allow posting of html code in the messages as that's a security issue. I did manage to get a link which defaults to Highlander Radio but you do need to then hit the play button to get it started. The other stations don't require you to do that but isn't any major problem.

Alistair, is there any way that we could get Radio Canada International....a shortwave station? I kind of believe that it might be difficult, as the stations change with the seasons. Also something about it being short wave? Just asking...Many ta's, Joan

I have added the link Joan.

I am listening to BBC Scotland this morning while cruising through the forums. I think your new radio button will be a hit.

Glad you think so. I used to enjoy listening to the program for its mix of programs.

Have just been on RCI, & one can change around from one selection to another, i.e., CBC, RCI, Archives & many of the popular programs, such as Maple Leaf Mailbag. I used to listen every Sunday to RCI, and some of their comedians were quite hilarious, although cannot remember the name of the show. This guy would go around to towns in CA, & they recorded his spiel with the audiences reacting...loved it. Thanks a lot, Alistair. Joan
