    We're glad you asked. Mac or PC, this thread has got you covered. We'll start with the easiest way to tune in:

    Visit: http://www.wtfrlive.com/ and start the embedded player right there on the home page. Voila! You're now tuned in to WTFRLive. Yes, it's that simple.

    Wow! That was really simple but I would rather have a little popup widget-type player.

    Hover your mouse over "WTF Radio" in the navbar and select > "Listen Now - Windows Media Player (Popup)"

    And you should see something like this appear:

    Good deal but I would prefer to listen via iTunes or VLC Media Player.

    Simply download the .pls file by clicking the link in the navbar and open that file with iTunes, VLC or even Winamp.

    Ever heard of Songbird?

    Nope. But here's how you can tune in with it:

    Open Songbird, and click "File", "Open Location".

    Enter the following URL: http://75.125.224.104:8015

    Click "OK" and then the "Listen" link in the top, middle of the page that comes up.


    Well, I think that just about covers it. I hope this thread has been helpful in getti...

    What about those of us on the go!? How can I listen on my Android phone?

    I'm sorry. I forgot to mention A Online Radio. The free, Android app that allows you to listen to WTFRLive on your supported mobile Android device.

    *If your supported media player of choice is not listed in this tutorial, please pm me with the info so I can add it to this post.

    Also, if you experience issues listening to WTFRLive, please let me know.

    Listening to your favorite WTFRLive shows on your mobile device is EASY and FREE!

    Here are a few simple ways to listen on your mobile device:

    IPAD or IPHONE: (CONFIRMED)

    Show Spoiler


    Open your "Apple Store" and Search "Shoutcast Radio". The very first option to present itself is the one you want. Download and install in seconds.

    After installing locate the app on your phone, open it, and click stations.

    [IMG]

    Using the search bar at the top, search the term "WTFR" or "WTFRLive".

    [IMG]

    WTFRLive should be the only stations that pops up, click it, and enjoy!

    [IMG]



    Android: (CONFIRMED)

    Show Spoiler


    Using the Android App Store, download the free "TuneIn Radio" App. (There are two versions, so make sure you choose the "lite" or free version.

    Open it, and using the search tool located in the upper right hand corner of the screen, search the term "WTFRLive". (WTFR, alone will not work)

    [IMG]

    Click the station "WTFRLive" and begin listening to all the craziness of your favorite shows on the go.

    Kindle Fire: (Confirmed)

    Show Spoiler


    Download TuneIn Radio, open it and using the search tool, search the term "WTFRLive". ("WTFR alone will not always work)

    Click on the WTFRLive station and begin your listening experience.

    (Screenshots may or may not come later)



    Now you too can enjoy WTFRLive programming, such as tomorrow nights episode of "THe Dive Bar" ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.

    If they list multiple options, please make sure you choose, "WTFRLive".

    Yes that's right! You can be the proud owner of the new WTFRLive gadget! Imagine having all your favorite WTFR programming at a mouse-click.

    Here's how!

    Go to http://www.wtfrlive.com/gadget/wtfrgadget1_0.zip and save to your desktop. Unzip the zip file or open and double click the wtfrgadget.gadget.

    You may receive a message box as you see below. Click "Install".

    That's it! Done! Usage is simple. Play, Pause, and for those times gehtfuct is off on one of his "anal play with cucumbers and a midget" tangents, there is a stop button.

    Hover over the gadget and you'll see the settings icon. Click it to display the flyout that gives you access to other goodies like WTF.com chat.

    I don't have an issue with this thread being unlocked and in fact, I prefer it.

    It seems like this list may need to be updated so I'll try to get to that soon.

    If you experience difficulty streaming via anything listed above, feel free to voice your issue here. If you know of an application that works that isn't listed, please feel free to post it here and I will edit it into the above post(s).

    Thanks!

    I have tried repeatedly to get the wmp pop up to work.....but it keeps saying I need to install the plug in.
    I ran this past my husband....he said that there is no plug in yet available for windows 8
    I run windows 8, and google chrome
    Even when I go to the direct link to the site, It says it's playing but I never hear anything, and have gone there during scheduled times.
    Maybe i'm doing something wrong, any tips?

    Your husband should be spanked, repeatedly.

    When I installed:
    http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/play-windows-media-files-in-firefox (which works just fine in latest Firefox and Windows 8), it seems to automatically be detected in latest Chrome as well. Pop up works for me in Chrome...

    It worked fine for me. Ask your husband to help you follow the instructions on that page.
