Songbird

You can listen on your computer with the Songbird Media Player

There are two ways to listen via Songbird, lets start of with the simplest:

Adding via a playlist

Open Songbird

Goto File and then Import a Playlist

Download a playlist file, choose one from below:

64kbps Stereo Stream

Choose the playlist.pls file you just downloaded.

This creates a playlist, named playlist.pls which you can rename.

Inside the playlist just double click on the Fresh Digital Radio listing and it will begin playing.

You can move the listing to another playlist or rename the playlist if you wish.

Adding via SHOUTcast add-on

Start Songbird

Goto Songbird in the menu bar at the top of your screen

Now go into Preferences

Click Add-ons, then Shoutcast.

Now click on the Shoutcast Preferences button.

Make sure there is NOT a tick in the ‘Only show SHOUTcast streams with at least xx people listening’

Now close that window.

Under Radio in the menu bar on the left, click SHOUTcast.

Now choose the Alternative genre and enter Fresh Digital Radio in the filter

Once you see Fresh Digital Radio in your window, Choose the 64kbps Standard Stream and then click on the favourite heart, ignore any error messages you might see.

We have been added to your Radio Favourite Stations.

In future you will only have to start Songbird and goto your Radio Favourite Stations and we will be listed.

If SHOUTcast is not listed in your radio menu:

Start Songbird

Goto Songbird in the menu bar at the top of your screen

Now go into Preferences

Then Add-ons

Click the Get Extensions link at the bottom left of the window.

Choose the Content and Discovery category from the list

Scroll down to SHOUTcast and click the install button

Then Install Now

You may have to re-start Songbird if requested.
