Our Tune In page is at player.gridstream.org an easy URL to remember and bookmark. If you wish to share with your friends then that is the URL to share. (Direct links to the stream or shoutcast stream is discouraged for legal reasons so please do not do that. And besides, player.gridstream.org is always guaranteed to be up to date and always reflect any changes should they occur.)
Your player need to support .m3u playlists and AAC+ shoutcast streams. Some players have a version number listed, this is the minimum known version required to play our stream.
Unless you are using GridStream Player or the Webplayer then you need to tune in with a special link on player.gridstream.org.
Either click on the orange "Stream" in "GridStream Productions" at the top of that page. Or click the link in the info on that page that says "stream url".
That file/url is what most players will need to tune in. Ideally it will open your preferred player on its own when you click it. But you may need to save the link to it or download the file and open that locally. This varies depending on what player or browser you are using.
