How to Listen

Ballparkradio.com's "How To" Guide for Listening to Streaming Audio

First and foremost, don't be intimidated by the technology.  It's easy, even if you are a computer novice.

1)  Where Do I Find Your Broadcast? 

On the front page of this site,  www.ballparkradio.com

2)  How do I tune in to your broadcast? 

bullet

At the front page of Ballparkradio, click this icon:

   

bullet

Then, at the next page, click the link for your game.  (this will open your media player on your computer)

bullet

Be Patient, it takes time to load a broadcast.   The "streaming audio" takes time to load into your Windows Media Player, similar to waiting for a file to download to your computer.  With streaming audio, this is called "buffering".  The delay is normal, so please be patient.  The Windows Media Player will show you the progress of the "buffering" in % terms, counting up to 100%.  When it hits 100%, you will hear the signal.

3)  What equipment do I need to listen to Streaming Audio?

To listen to streaming audio, you need the following:

bullet

Computer with sound card & either speakers or headphones (most computers come with sound card built in).  If you can listen to music CD's then you're set.  Be sure your speakers are on.  (And if you're listening at work, be sure to turn the volume down ;-) )

bullet

"Windows Media Player".  Again, most computers have this software already pre-installed.  If so, it will automatically load when you click to listen. 

bullet

Not sure if you have it?  Click here to test your Windows Media Player. (your player should open automatically when you click the link and you should hear short audio clip.

4)  If I don't have Windows Media Player, where do I get it?

bullet Streaming Audio Broadcasts play through the Windows Media Player, which comes installed on most computers.  If not, click the "Get Media Player" button for free download.

If you don't have Window Media Player, you can download it for free by clicking the icon below:

Not to worry - the program will install itself.  Just follow the download and installation instructions for Windows Media Player.

5)   A Word about "Buffering"

bullet

Oh, now you're getting too technical for me!  No, not really.  "Buffering" is just a fancy way of saying "wait for the broadcast to load into your computer".

bullet

You may experience an occasional loss of signal, and "re-buffering" of the stream.  Please be patient, your system will "re-buffer" and reconnect you to the broadcast. 

bullet

If the disconnect/buffering problem persists, click the "Adjust Buffering" menu button at the above left to adjust your settings in Windows Media Player.

6)  Advanced Help
