How to listen with Mac OS and iTunes

For Macintosh OS X and iTunes, the steps are simple:

1. Highlight the Internet address of the desired stream from below:

For Big Star Radio: http://bigstaradio.no-ip.org:8000/live

2. Copy the address. (Press APPLE-C or select from the menu: Edit/Copy.)
3. Start the iTunes application.
4. Do one of the following:
a. Press APPLE-U
b. Select from the menu: Advanced/Open Stream...
5. Paste the Internet address of the stream into iTunes. (Press APPLE-V or select from the menu: Edit/Paste.)
6. Click OK.
7. Provided you have an active connection to the Internet, the stream will start playing.

8. In the iTunes main window, click on Source/Library, then in the display window click the "snapback" arrow (at the right). This will place a listing for the program stream at the top of your Library listing. Unfortunately, it will be titled "N/A" as no program information is added by the streaming server at this time.

9. You may create a new iTunes playlist and add the program stream listing to that list so you may find it easily the next time you want to play the stream. If you add streams for both Big Star Radio, they will be listed in your playlist in alphabetic order (even though the titles are both shown as "N/A").
