• 32k MP3 for Lo-Speed internet connections using iTunes and Winamp
• 32k MP3 for Lo-Speed internet connections using Real Player
• 64k AAC+ uses less internet connection but sounds as good as 128k MP3 using iTunes & Winamp
• 128k MP3 for Hi-Speed Connections using iTunes and Winamp
• 128k MP3 for Hi-Speed Connections using Real Player
• 192k MP3 Hi-Fidelity for Hi-Speed Connections (Octoshape Plug-in)
• 256k MP3 the Highest Fidelity Stream we offer, for Audiophiles who prefer the BEST and have the bandwidth to spare using iTunes & Winamp
What is AAC+? AAC+ is an alternative codec to MP3. It compresses data in a way to allow it to sound as good our 128k MP3 stream while only using half of the amount of bandwidth (64k to be exact). This is a great option for PC or MAC users using Winamp or iTunes that want great sound quality but save on allocated bandwidth for streaming.
Hi-Speed vs Lo-Speed: "k" stands for Kilobytes per second. This is considered the "bit rate" at which our stream is relayed from our server to your computer, wherever you may be around the globe. Fast internet connections such as BROADBAND and DSL allow you to listen at the premium audio rates of 128k and 192k and even 256k, while slower internet connections such as DIAL-UP or certain MOBILE PHONES perform better using our 32k or 64k AAC+ streams. For our audiophile listeners with a solid hi-speed internet connection, we offer a 256k Stream (for FREE).
How to Play SmoothJazz Radio: First, determine if you have an on-board MEDIA PLAYER installed.
IF YOU HAVE A MEDIA PLAYER INSTALLED, simply select the desired stream from the Now Playing Section on our Home Page.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MEDIA PLAYER INSTALLED you can choose one from our MEDIA PLAYER LIST below. A restart may be required after installation.
ONCE YOU SELECT A STREAM, PC USERS must "okay" the download of the stream and choose an onboard MEDIA PLAYER to begin listening. MAC USERS will have their default MEDIA PLAYER opened automatically and the stream should begin to play soon after. Make sure your volume is turned up!
Easily Discover New Music: In our efforts to make it easier to connect you with new music, we display the CD Cover, Artist's Name, Song Title, and Album info along with BUY CD and DOWNLOAD links on our Front Page's Now Playing Section. In case you missed the current song, you can access our Last Hour Playlist to see the previous hour of music, including the currently playing selection. We suggest you keep our front page minimized on your Desktop and maximize it for up to date artist/song information.
