Listening to KALX. Let me count the ways.one, two, three, four different streamsBesides receiving our broadcast signal over the Bay Area FM airwaves at 90.7 MegaHertz, KALX can also be heard streaming via the Internet. Your choice: MP3 or OGG Vorbis.MP3 StreamsYou can listen to KALX with an MP3 player over the Internet at three different rates: MP3 128k Stereo streamMP3 56k Stereo stream MP3 24k Mono stream You will need an MP3 player like Winamp (PC), iTunes (Mac and PC), or XMMS (Linux). If clicking on the above links didn't work, try copying and pasting one of the following URLs into your player's "Open Location" dialog box: MP3 128k Stereo stream http://icecast.media.berkeley.edu:8000/kalx-128.mp3.m3u MP3 56k Stereo stream http://icecast.media.berkeley.edu:8000/kalx-56.mp3.m3u MP3 24k Mono stream http://icecast.media.berkeley.edu:8000/kalx-24.mp3.m3u
OGG StreamYou can also listen to KALX over the internet via ourAudio Stream Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)What happened to your Real Audio stream?Due to the success of our mp3/ogg streaming service and to our parent department's move from Real to mp3 streaming and encoding for the campus' Webcast program, we terminated our Real audio streaming feed as of August 1st, 2008. For those of you who have been using the feed, please try out our mp3/ogg offerings! What if the KALX stream appears to be down? If you get a "File Not Found" message from our stream links, then our stream may be down temporarily. In case we don't know about it, please , call the DJ (510-642-KALX), or call the office (510-642-1111). During normal business hours, it only takes us a minute to reboot and get the stream back on. What do you recommend if I'm trying to listen to KALX over a slow modem? The 24K Mono stream. I often get rebuffering messages. Anything I can do? Yes, lots of rebuffering usually means your Internet connection speed is slow. Try listening using one of our slower streams like the 56K Stereo, and if that doesn't work use the 24K Mono stream. What should I do if I get a message asking me to "run auto configure"? On some machines, the initial attempt to connect to our stream may produce a message prompt asking you to "run auto configure". By clicking OK, your player may then be able to start the audio stream after trying several different connection protocols. The auto-configure procedure will not disable your player even if you are still unable to connect to our live stream. I can't listen to your audio stream at work. What gives? Sometimes if you can't access the stream or see "undefined" error messages, you are probably behind a firewall. Some unenlightened businesses filter what their employees can see on the Internet at work, and unfortunately, Internet radio is a prime candidate for being blocked. If this is happening to you, your only hope is turning someone in your IT department into a KALX fan.
