Windows 7 - Can WMP stream internet radio?

Seems like in an older version of WMP you could access internet radio stations and play them through WMP.

On my Win Seven machine I don't see that option.

Is my memory faulty? Or did MS drop that ability?

I have a networked speaker in another room distant from the computer and would like to log into a station and play the content through the remote speaker. I can access this radio station and stream the content through Firefox (quite separate from WMP) but I don't think I can pass that stream to the remote.

You need a browser to run the internet radio. I run my home stations all day long. I have dedicated a seperate browser just to do that - Safari in my case.

No isea how you have wired your remote speakers. Can't you set them as default in Playback Devices.

If I remember correctly all you have to do is paste the stream URL into a new playlist.


On the other hand you could just use the free version of Radio Sure. http://www.radiosure.com/downloadz/

it is possible to have internet radio on wmp ,although it is limited. open wmp/ click the media guide button



,select media guide from pop out ,then click the link in the middle of the screen.



Voila!
