1. How does WCGO send their streaming signal?

WCGO streams at a rate of 32 kilobits per second.

2. Do I need a high-speed Internet connection to listen to the WCGO streams?

Most dial-up modem Internet connections should be able to sustain the download speed necessary to provide uninterrupted playback of the WCGO streams.

3. Do I need RealPlayer to listen to the WCGO stream? If so, where can I get it?

Yes. RealPlayer (Version 10.0 and above) is the only media player that will allow you to listen to the WCGO streams. Even though you might have Real Player already installed on your computer, in order to listen to WCGO you will have to re-download and re-install RealPlayer.

4. Can I send the stream from my computer to my stereo?

Yes, you have two options. You can run a physical wire from your computer to your stereo system. And now, there are also wireless components that can connect your computer to your stereo receiver/amplifier. Please check with your local computer store to find the solution that works best for you.

5. When I click the "Listen Now" button, nothing happens or my browser closes..

First, make sure that RealPlayer (10.0 or above) is installed on your computer. If it isn’t, you can download it FREE by clicking here.

Users of Windows 7 will have to re-download and re-install RealPlayer. To download the most recent version of the FREE RealPlayer for your operating system, please click here.

With RealPlayer (Version 10.0 or above) installed, try quitting and restarting your browser. Then, click the "Listen Now" link on our home page again. If nothing continues to happen, your browser may not be able to automatically opening up RealPlayer (via an installed plug-in). In this case, we suggest using a current version of Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.

6. When I click the "Listen Now" button, I get a "Page Cannot Be Displayed" error.

This is caused by another application on your computer not allowing RealPlayer to play the link. You have two choices:

A) Copy-and-Paste rtsp://www.wonxstreaming.com/encoder/wonx.rm directly into the "File --> Open" location of RealPlayer.

B) Select RealPlayer as your default media player and then click the "Listen Now" link on our home page again.
