All stations listed require only the default configuration of Windows Media Player (WMP). WMP can usually play music sources using the internet protocol mms: as well as files ending in .asx, .mp3, .m3u, and .wax. WMP typically will not play sources intended for QuickTime, Flash or RealPlayer such as those ending with .pl, .pls, .swf. There are exceptions in both cases; the only reliable verification method is to (a) uninstall or disable all audio plugins - including Flash -, and then (b) put the stream link into IE and see if WMP pops up.

Requirements:
* Windows Media Player 11 or higher
