Early Spring Night Slow Jams In the Winter

The groundhog said there will ba an early spring so to increase that swell of good will I am going to pump out some smooth sounds to help bring on the rush of sprint time weather!

Bringing it with a little Al Green, George Benson, Richard Elliot, Vanessa Williams, Linda Ronstadt, Rufus & Chaka Khan, Trey Songz, Melody Garbot, Tony Bennet and so many more….

Oh yeah its already started so just tune in….

You can listen at the following bit rates with Shoutcast supported audio players (I use Winamp or VLC) :

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/32kbps ” 32kbps

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/128kbps ” 128kbps

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/160kbps ” 160kbps

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/320kbps ” 320kbps

Some audio software/streamers/players tend to want you to listen in this format:

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=4 ” 32kbps

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=3 ” 128kbps

Cover of Vanessa Williams

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=2 ” 160kbps

” http://dhoytt.com:8000/listen.pls?sid=1 ” 320kbps

” mms://dhoytt.com:3690/listen.pls ” Windows media will connect @ 32kbps, 128kbps,160kbps, 320kbps

You can cut and paste the above links between the quotes into a browser and they will pull up your audio player, enter the links into your player or click on one of the players or links on the site @ http://www.dhoytt.com/snake-ice-radio-blog/ .

When I listen at home I listen to 320kbps and when at the gym listening on my mobile phone I listen using 128kbps using Winamp mobile, VLC or Xia Live. In areas where reception is not good I do 32kbps.

Fixed Windows Encoder Issue Can Listen With Windows Media Player

Well I fixed an issue I had not known existed because I had not been doing my due diligence in monitoring certain elements lately. The windows media encoder had crashed and then disappeared on my music server when I upgraded and I usually monitor with Shoutcast enabled media players so I didn’t notice the issue with the Windows media encoder since I seldom listen and monitor with the Windows Media player.

Anyway just click on the link on the page @ http://www.dhoytt.com/snake-ice-radio-blog/ that says Windows Media Player Auto Adjust to Internet Speed it will determine your connection speed and adjust appropriately. Sorry for this inconvenience and oversight.

You can alternately click on the media player icon

When the message asking to launch Windows Media player comes up:

Choose “Launch Application” and Windows Media player will start streaming whatever is playing on “Snakeice’s House of Beats“:

You’ll notice in the bottom left corner it will first show buffering and then start playing the music then scroll the song being played information & station id.

Sit back and enjoy the music. Also if you have Windows Media Player already up you can right click on the top portion of the Windows Media Player -> <Click on> “File” -> Then <Click on> “Open URL”:

The next step is to enter in the in the path to the music “mms://dhoytt.com:3690” in the dialogue box:

There you have it another way to listen with Windows Media Player. I’ll at some point spruce this up and add it to the F.A.Q section along with a video and a step by step on how to use other popular media players to listen to the “Snakeice House of Beats” show.
