Live Audio Streaming Issues – FM103.2

Friday, February 20th, 2009

I’ve been finding it harder these days with some content providers to connect to online media, due to them using proprietary formats.

Why can’t people just use ogg? Will respond to that another day.

I have been trying to get live streaming audio to work on Linux from http://hope1032.com.au (formerly FM103.2). They seem to being using wma2 inside asf.

The only successful application that I could find to accomplish this is VLC Media Player version 0.9.8a. The audio quality is great.

Thanks VLC developers for your hardwork.
