Streaming Audio F.A.Q.
What kind of software do I need to listen in?
Immaculate Heart Radio's streaming audio is compatible with almost every computer platform's default media players. If you have Windows, Windows Media Player as well as WinAMP will work. If you want to listen on a Macintosh, Apple's default iTunes player is your easiest choice. For Linux users the default player is XMMS, and it should work nicely.How fast does my Internet connection need to be?
You can listen to our audio stream with a 28.8 Kbps connection. That means that if you have a dialup connection, listening in should be no problem. However, some people with particularly slow dialup connections may need to use the low quality stream.Can I listen to archives of the programs I hear?
Yes, you can listen to archives of Gift of Life, Catholic Connection, The Doctor Is In, and more. We encourage you to download the shows and share them with family and friends.Unfortunately, Immaculate Heart Radio cannot archive most of the other programming we transmit. The reason for this is because the majority of our programming comes from networks such as EWTN, Ave Maria Radio and others. These various networks have their programming copyrighted, and because of that we are not able to record it for your later listening enjoyment.
Why does Immaculate Heart Radio use MP3 format instead of X?
We use MP3 format because it works in virtually every media player available. Any other format may not work in all media software, and could prevent many who want to listen from doing so.Who do I contact if I'm having problems?
If you have any difficulty getting our streaming programming working correctly, please feel free to contact us at our administrative offices.
