[Reader-list] Launch of Forum Radio at ISF 2006

[ish at sarai.net]

Hi,  just adding a few more points for streaming the ISF on you computer.
You can stream using various media players like VLC, XMMS, WinAmp, Wim
Media player, this can be done simply by using the 'open link or URL' in
file menu and putting the following address http://radio.dyne.org:8000/isf.mp3 in the box and pressing start/play, and  the ISF Radio will automatically start streaming when you do this.

Otherwise you can visit http://cacim.net and there are two links for 'one
World radio' and 'sarai.net' radio on the top right hand corner of the
page, and if you click these links the Forum radio will start streaming
in/off the relavant player/page.

Best

ISh
