How to
Listen
Quasar broadcasts using the internet and a shout-cast
stream encoded by AAC+, unlike terrestrial radio we are not
limited to one small spot on the planet. OK at the moment
it is not so easy listen to us in your car or when out and
about, but this is beginning to change with the
introduction of iPhones and the like.
PC/MAC
The most
obvious way of listening to us is via your computer and
this is done by clicking on the 'Listen live Logo' on the
sidebar. This will open a player which can remain open
while you continue to surf the net. All our streams are
'Port 80 Enabled' which means they are able to get past
most corporate Firewalls making it easier to listen at
work.
Internet Radio (Reciva)
There is of course an even simpler way and that is by using
an Internet Radio, these devices are similar to ordinary
radios except that they utilise your broadband wifi and
give worldwide coverage of radio stations. To tune your
internet radio to us search by Genre 'Soft Rock' and we are
listed as 'Quasar AAC+' & 'Quasar - Non-Corporate
Radio'. To save having to do this every time save us on one
of the radio's presets.
Happy Listening
A Note on Buffering
Sometimes Quasar will go quiet and the Internet Radio or
Computer you are listening on will come up with the
statement 'Buffering', this is not a technical fault with
quasar but the internt getting clogged up. This normally
clears after a while but on occasions can be severe.
