This player uses your locally installed Windows Media Player. The general consensus by the masses in the tech community is that Windows Media Player does not work well with Shoutcast streams which is what ours is. Most say that versions below version 9 will not play Shoutcast streams and none of them will show current song playing data unless you get the Orban plugin on the Listen Live page and use the 24bit AAC+ stream. We suggest you get Winamp, it's free and it works great on stations like ours that use Shoutcast.
