geniusworkin · Post by **geniusworkin** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 12:52 am

just bought a macbook pro, and im trying to listen back to the Crazy D/ Hatcha on kiss listen back. It aint gonna happen.

Same thing for the MAH show with Skepta, BBC Radio thing refuses to work.

Any suggestions? Pisses me off that you get persecuted for using a better system.

thanks in advance.

BBC Radio should work. Just make sure you have Real Player installed as it uses their codec.

this worked for me. You 'll need to go through the over complicated d/l of the softwae but, after that you should be ok.

BBC works fine! You need the realplayer software. There is a free version.

as for Kiss FM, try the flip4mac plug in, but it's not working for me...

i've yet to meet someone who switched to mac, switch back!

apart form the kiss show which alot of have people mentioned, radio nearly always works for me, try and use Firefox as it often updates itself and searches out the relevant plug ins.

persevere, i've been using mac's fairly industrially for four years and have had only one major problem in that time. Ive noticed even my die hard pc using friends have started to switch recently.

peep Opera for internet browsers.. shit is great

and defo DL realplayer for the BBC isk.. tis a pain but don't blame Mac... a host like BBC should have their own flash audio player, BBC using realplayer is rather archaic and cheap.. not to say lame

the internet may be geared towards the PC end of things - but take solace in the fact that all the downloadable extras you can't get for your Mac are all just spammy smear apps that fuck up windows OS's anyways (e.g. real player etc.)
