Here's how to get it working. Some of you may find that your player opens up and starts playing the radio program just by clicking on it from the Internet. These instructions, however, should work for any computer-setup:
| Using Winamp (Small, fast, and un-intrusive program) 1. Download Winamp in case you don't have it: Click on the following icon, and then choose the Lite option, and install the program:
2. For NRK, click on this link:
The Winamp files end with .m3u, so look for these extensions at the above sites if you want to use Winamp. 3. Right-click on a radio station connection, and then choose Copy link address. If you have a high-speed internet connection, choose 128 or 56, if you are on a dial-up (modem), choose 16 for the channel that you want to listen to.
4. Open your Winamp program. Right-click on the top bar:
5. Choose Play and Location in the menus.
6. When the address window comes up, right-click once in the window and choose Paste.
Your stream will now start playing. If you hear nothing, check that the sound levels are up. On Winamp, this is the sliding bar underneath the kpbs and kHz numbers. Note that the bar changes color from green to red as you increase the volume. 7. Now, you want to save this file in your Winamp address book. Again, right-click the Winamp top bar, and choose Bookmarks, and then Add current as bookmark.
8. Next time you want to listen to a bookmarked channel, just start up Winamp, right-click the top bar, choose Bookmarks, and select the channel that you want to listen to.

4. Open your Microsoft Media Player, and click on File, then Open.
5. Then right-click inside the field, and choose Paste, and click OK to start the program.
