Welcome to the BRM Listener
Support Center
Although there are
over 1 billion PCs in use around the world and over 2.5 billion
cell phones, many capable
of using Internet radio, there are common issues that we may be able to offer some assistance.
The BRM Listener Support Center is not an all exhaustive service. We have limitations to what we may be able to
accomplish via this website and email support. We know there are certain programs that conflict with Internet radio.
We know there are PC registry issues, corrupt files, malware, and viruses that can prevent Internet radio. We know that
some employers and higher education organizations block Internet radio as it uses the company or institution's expensive bandwidth.
Consequently, we cannot solve every problem you may have in listening to your favorite radio station.
Clearly, some issues
are beyond the scope of our best intentions.
So, you desire to listen to your favorite Broadcast radio station over the Internet. You go to the station's website click on their listen live button and the player either opens but doesn't play or the player doesn't even open. What do you do? Well, since you are already here let us work our way down through the items and see if your PC setup falls into one of the following situations!
