no sound streaming radio internet stations

When I click on a internet radio station to listen to it, the dialogue box
says ‘ready’ but impossible to get any sound out of it. I tried half a dozen
of different stations; all with the same result. There is no error message. I
used to be able to listen to internet radio stations before, but for some
reason it stopped suddenly.

Thanks for helping!

Do local WMA files work?
What's a URL that fails?

I am having the same problem with mu real player. My computer is 1 & 1/2 yrs old and my real player worked very well. Now on good it might play for a hr. and then cut off. Sometimes it will go on for a few minutes. I'am new to this forum and I couldn't find new thread starter so I jumped on to your thread. Any help would be apprediated.

What sort of content are you playing ? Several stations have content
which is a single, archived show of up to an hour - others are
continuous streams.

For example the ones on www.somafm.com are continuously mixed DJ
streams, though even then it's paused or stopped before as the DJs
have messed up at their end !

Other radio stations might have 1 hour cutoffs for a variety of
reasons, e.g copyright / playlist restrictions or to encourage you to
see more ads or subscribe.

There's nothing inherent to Real Player which cuts off after an hour,
though it's possible your internet service provider *might*,
especially if you're on dialup and it reconnects every hour to avoid
telecoms charges.
