Start of February Winter Quiet Storm

Start of February Winter Quiet Storm

The beginning of the the month of February as well as the middle of the week, and  the Northern California, Sacramento,  weather is perfect to lay back look out the window and sip some wine, scotch, courvoisier, sake or even water juice, tea or whatever whets your appetite.

You provide your beverage and I’ll provide you with a “Winter Quiet Storm” to start of this month

Fixed Windows Encoder Issue Can Listen With Windows Media Player

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 iconwmp.jpg.
When the message asking to launch Windows Media player comes up:
windows-media-player-launch-request.JPG
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”:
windows-media-player-launched-open-url.JPGThe next step is to enter in the in the path to the music “mms://dhoytt.com:3690” in the dialogue box:
windows-media-player-launched-open-url-insert-path.JPG
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.

Labor Day Sounds

Kicking some sounds for you to enjoy the Labor Day in the backyard, and if you know how to hook up through the mobile in your car or anywhere you have access!

Stay tuned I will sometimes stack together a set of one genre together for you to get off to and other times just mix it all in my trademark Gumbo Mix of genres and musical era’s!
