Welcome To Olde Enchantments Internet Radio
Frequently Asked Questions
Please download and install our Tuner which is a small, safe download
directly from our Olde Enchantments domain server. http://www.oldeenchantments.com/radio/BS-Tuner_Setup.msi
It's a free, one time installation. Once the Tuner is installed you may tune in and listen to our stream at any time without even going to our web page. However we do have a convenient "Quick Launch" button on the radio home page.
To use your Tuner after installation type, or copy and paste oldeenchantments.com/radio into the http:// box. Then click the play button located at the right of the volume control.

You can also go to our radio home page at http://www.oldeenchantments.com/radio/ and click the Quick Launch button.
Note that you can change the size of your Tuner by clicking on the bottom right corner or by clicking on any side and dragging to the desired size. We stream album art and other images while music is playing so your Tuner doubles as an image viewer.
So the copyrighted music that we play can't be pirated.
The only way around this would be to pay an expensive monthly service that has the money and technology to have a nifty, instant, secure, pop-up tuner appear on your browser. However the tradeoff is then there'd be advertising in our broadcast stream and we'd have a monthly nut to crack. Have you seen how long stations specializing in music like we do typically last on those paid services?
We own our own broadcast software and stream via FTP on our own domain server. We have no Masters to Serve which enables us to stream 24/7 without commercial advertising.
We have no desire or reason to exclude Mac users. We simply haven't found any suitable software that will securely stream to Macs from a PC.
Assuming you have Windows Vista or XP, the most likely reason is that you don't have Microsoft .Net Framework Version 2.0 installed on your computer. The Tuner requires this to operate. It can be downloaded here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD-AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en
A Featured Album is played in its entirety without any interruption.

It seems that each time our broadcast server software shuts down and restarts for any reason, it becomes necessary for listeners to restart their Tuners as well. Simply close your Tuner, reopen it, and log back on..
