Bluegrass music on the internet

http://www.worldwidebluegrass.com/home/ It has broadband and dialup streams.



I also have some AppleScript launchers for dial up and broadband for you Mac users.


for Dial up:

tell application "RealPlayer"
run
open location "http://wwb32.internetradiopros.net/listen.php?type=ram"
end tell



For Broadband:

tell application "RealPlayer"
run
open location "http://wwb128.internetradiopros.net/listen.php?type=ram"
end tell


Copy the script you want and open the Script editor in Applications/AppleScript
Paste the script in the editor and hit run. Real Audio will open and the stream should play.

If it works, save as application. I named it WorldWideBluegrass. If it doesn't, check to make sure there isn't a mistake. Sometimes copy paste may accidentally chop off the first or last character "ell" instead of "tell"

WKSU's folk host Jim Blum is fantastic. Have spent many weekend evenings listening. www.folkalley.com

Here's Appalshop's station WMMT http://www.appalshop.org/wmmt/ It's not purely music, but it is the voice of the region, music and all.

I listen whenever I am out that way visiting family. Of late, that has only been once a year, though.

I could probably learn a lot listening to a Kentucky radio station, since one of my main issues is coal mining. I need to figure out how to get the audio stream playing through my favorite internet audio player, www.quinnware.com . I am new to those concepts. And all that is going to have to wait until I get some *real* work done.
