What media player is the best?

For Windows users we recommend Windows Media Player which is availbale on our download section and also at Microsoft website for free. One of the most popular player nowadays, used by millions of listeners all over the world is WinAmp. It's so easy to install that you need to do nothing the moment you click on install button but to click on next, next and next. It's also the most complete media player I've ever encountered on the net. It has a "Media List" which is both for net tvs and net radios, a complete listing of all kinds of music you can ever ask for. That's why it's so popular and the most user friendly media player. Another player you can use is the Real One Media Player. The downside of this player is that, it's not available for free. You may download the trial version but after the trial period you won't be able to use it anymore unless you upgrade to a full registered version. The last player that we would like to recommend is iTunes. You can use this player both for Windows and Mac. You can download it for free from their website.

How can I find your station on WinAmp media listing?

On the lower left side of Winamp there is a initial of "Media List" [ML] Click on it and the Winamp Media List will popup. On the next window which is the ML Media List window, look for the Shoutcast Radio and click on it. Once you've clicked on it, a list of radio staions on the right side of the window will appear and you'll see a search box on the right upper part of it just as shown on the picture below. Media List Now you may type what station you're looking for, example our station, Heat Wave Radio Pacific, Simply type it on the search box, or you may search, Pinoy, Asian Rim, Love Songs Here you go! Click on the link below e.g "Heat Wave Radio Pacific". Now, remember to consider your internet speed connection, tuning in to a higher bitrate more than your internet connection speed can handle will cause buffering and your player will stop, buffer, play and so on.

Here are some few advantages of AAC+ stream;

Audio Qaulity - It's audio quality is just amazing, some says awesome and I, as admin agree to these comments. I personally prefer using AAC+ stream for the reason that it's as high audio quality as you can get from your own cd collection.

Bandwith Usage - Listeners with low internet speed connection (modem and dial up users) can now have the pleasure of tuning in to high quality audio stream inspite of their low speed downlod connection, why? Try to tune in to our 56k Mp3 stream and then compare to our 32k AAC+ stream, you'll surely hear the difference.
