Having trouble?
If you have VPR or VPR Classical in your iTunes or Windows Media Library already, but they aren't working, do the following:
- Open iTunes or Windows Media (or other MP3 player).
- Find VPR or VPR Classical in your Library or "Music" list.
- Delete it from the list.
- Come back to this page and relaunch the stream using the playlist links above. We recommend you first try the Low-bandwidth option for your player: if that works, try the High-bandwidth option.
Connecting Directly to the Stream
If the links above don't work, you can connect directly to the stream using the stream URLs (below). The instructions vary across media players - iTunes, Real Player, Windows Media - but they are largely the same.
- Choose your stream from the list of URLs below. Highlight and copy the stream URL: for example, the stream URL for VPR Classical High Bandwidth is http://vprclassical.streamguys.net/vprclassical128.mp3
- Open your media player, such as iTunes or Real Player.
- This is where it varies by player. On Real choose File > Open. For iTunes go to Advanced > Open Audio Stream. For Windows Media Player it's File > Open URL.
- Paste in the Stream URL. Click OK.
- The stream should open and begin to play.
- The Player should also automatically add this to your playlists. The next time you want to listen, you should be able to open iTunes or Real and click on VPR in your music/playlists.
