Friends in art showcase of talent anual transcode

This message is not officially endorsed by ACB Radio or the American Council
of the Blind.

Good afternoon, ACB Radio Listeners.
Some of you may know that ever since 2004, I, using the phosilitys of my
own internet radio station, have transcoded the Friends in art showcase of
talent into the best and newest streaming formats. This is done to showcase
what new technology not used by ACB Radio does, and enables people in the
median between true broadband and modem connections (satelite subscribers,
users of Australia's bigpond ISP, etc) to listen to the FIA stream in as
full quality as can be gotten out of 64 KbPS, generally using formats that
ACB Radio probably considers experimental. Once Again this year, we will be
using AACPlus. Information about the format is below.
The stream will start and end with ACB Radio Interactive's coverage, of
which documentation has been sent. At 0:45 PM GMT (8 PM EDT, 7:45 PM CDT,
etc,) paste this URL into the player of your choice:
http://listen.hkcradio.com:8800/fia.aac

To listen to AACPlus, there are several players that can be used. Users
of winamp (http://www.winamp.com) 5.1 or greater and Foobar2000
(http://www.foobar2000.org) already have AACPlus support. Those who listen
with Real Player are left undecided, as I've heard various things on the
state of real player from "it doesn't work" to "oh it works, but it's mono."
For the innumerable folks who use Windows Media Player, a plugin which adds
support for AACPlus is available at the following URL:
http://www.orban.com/plugin/
as well as a message about the future of internet radio which we need you to
heed.
SO, use your player of choice, and enjoy the incredible fidelity at the
small bitrate of the great FIA showcase of talent.
Thanks,
Nick
