"Streaming Audio" Broadcasts

A "How To" Guide

1) What is Streaming Audio?

Streaming audio is a "radio" broadcast over the internet. In simplest terms, you sit down at your computer, click a couple of links, and wait for the "streaming audio" to load and play through the speakers hooked up to your computer. Once you're connected, it is virtually the same as listening to radio.

2) Where Do I Find Your Broadcast? (Click the "Live Audio" icon)

Our streaming audio broadcasts are carried by at the website for "Sportjuice", the leading provider of streaming audio for minor league baseball teams all over the country. (They take our signal and "stream" it to you).

The link to our broadcast is at our "provider page" at Sportsjuice, which can be reached by clicking this "Live Audio" icon, located below:

Once you reach our "provider page", look for the "Click to Listen" link. It will also display the schedule of games for the particular event on the right hand side of the page.

3) What do I need to listen to Streaming Audio?

To listen to streaming audio, you need the following:

	Computer with sound card & either speakers or headphones (most computers come with sound card built in). If you can listen to music CD's then you're set. Be sure your speakers are on. (And if you're listening at work, be sure to turn the volume down ;-) )
	"Windows Media Player". Again, most computers have this software already pre-installed. If so, it will automatically load when you click to listen.
	Click here to test your Windows Media Player. (your player should open automatically when you click the link and you should hear short audio clip.

4) If I don't have Windows Media Player, where do I get it?

If you don't have Window Media Player, you can download it for free by clicking the icon below:

Follow the download and installation instructions for Windows Media Player (WMP)

5) A Word about "Buffering"

	The "streaming audio" takes time to load into your Windows Media Player, similar to waiting for a file to download to your computer. With streaming audio, this is called "buffering". The delay is normal, so please be patient. The Windows Media Player will show you the progress of the "buffering" in % terms, counting up to 100%. When it hits 100%, you will hear the signal.
	You may experience an occasional loss of signal, and "re-buffering" of the stream. Please be patient, your system will "re-buffer" and reconnect you to the broadcast.
	If the disconnect/buffering problem persists, click the "Adjust Buffering" menu button at the above left to adjust your settings in Windows Media Player.
