    Hello all - I was trying to listen to my favorite radio station from back home via the internet but am blocked from doing so. I am staying in SE Asia until the end of April and would really enjoy listening to the same station I do at home occaisionally. My internet connection goes through my landlords house and he has a service that gives him a fixed IP even though his DSL gives him a dynamic IP. The problem is the US blocks the radio stations from streaming audio internationally. Is there a way to get around this? Thanks for any help. cc

    You could try this site. http://www.radio-locator.com/
    The stations they offer use Winblows mediaplayer. And they are mostly broadcast stations.

    I'm in Thailand. Yeah, I have heard that some broadcasts were being block coming in as well, but when I tried listening to the one from my hometown I got a popup from clear channel saying they block it for licensing issues or something like that blah, blah, blah. Does anyone know of another station I could catch the bob and tom show on? Thanks for any info. cc

    one way to do it would be to have a computer in the usa capturing the audio stream and relaying it to you as a wav file or similar - you could record it as it plays and send it in chunks of 1/2 hour recordings
