into it. You will need Windows Media Player to be installed on
your computer. It is launched by clicking on the Red triangle
play-button beneath "Listen to me" near the
top of the site. If you don't have Windows Media Player on
your computer, you can download the latest version from Microsoft
for FREE by clicking
here.
Windows Media Player is available for the following Operating
Systems:

Using
Your normal mp3 Player
This link is found under the "Radio & TV"
opton on the menu-bar and will allow you to listen through your
default mp3 player. If it doesn't work you may not have a music
player installed or streaming might be blocked by your network
administrator.
