Web Radio

Sorry for the double post, i forgot we had a computer section!

Ok heres one for you sciencey computer buff dudes

I want to listen to a radio station that broadcasts over the net in the UK (100.4 smooth FM). But, i am assuming its using my IP address to bar me and everyone outside of the UK from listening in (due to copyright laws whatever etc)

Is there a way to circumvent this?

Maybe. When you visit the website does it throw up any form of error or message telling you the stream is for UK residents only?

What player are you using and what (if any) error messages does it throw up (i.e. 404 not found or 403 access denied)?

it will open a window with an embedded WM player in it but it berates me with a recorded "computer says no" kinda WAV file.

I'd pay for a subscription but i rarely listen to it, but sometimes im feeling nostalgic and love to hear traffic reports about the tailbacks on the Barton Flyover and the smooth jazz they play...

ok sorted now, used a UK proxy server... handy!
