Here is an explanation of our current server setup that provides the various listening options available either for Free POD or for the Members POD and MP3 Coolstreams.  This can also help you identify which options may be better for you to try if you are experiencing problems, or if we are reporting any specific system problems above.

MP3 and Real Audio Programs On Demand (POD):  The Free and Members RA-21 Real Audio, and the MP3-56 programs (either Real Player or MP3 player) stream from our web server.

Important Note about using our Real Player presentions:  Our Real Player buttons are more affected by network or internet "congestion" issues than our MP3 buttons.   The "Real Player" buttons, with the player displays of song titles, sends many hundreds of tiny files along with the audio file in order to display all of the related info, so if there is a problem with either our web server or your connection (or any issues on the internet between you and us), it may cause the program stream to stop if one or more of these files gets interrupted or dropped.

Members' MP3-128 Programs On Demand (POD): Our highest quality Member's MP3-128 programs (for your default MP3 player) stream from a separate server from our web server, so if you have trouble with either the Member's MP3-56 and/or the 56 or 128 Real Player presentation versions, the MP3-128 buttons may be a good alternative for that time.

Members' MP3 Coolstreams:  served by Live365.com.  Their servers are located in California, USA.  If you are already familiar with Live365's free service, our streams are served from their Professional (Pro) broadcast service without any ad pops or audio ads that you see or hear on the free service.
