    What happens if you click on the play arrow here:

    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      How are you accessing the Finnish radio station?
      What computer / tablet / mobile phone... are you using?
      Are you accessing using a Program / Application / Web Browser?

      In addition to French Frank's Sounds link, do either of these Radio 3 links do anything? They might trigger a Media player & the first one is UK only.



      Can you install VLC https://www.videolan.org/ ? It's a general purpose media player that runs on lots of platforms and can play these links.

        As well as the first link, these two should work, even outside the UK:

          I type 'y' in the search bar (if that's what it's called) on my Lenovo PC and up pops 'Yle Klassinen'. My normal browser is ARG Secure,

            Thanks LMcD, Yle Klassinen is new to me, might give it a go. Is it AVG Secure? (ARG looks to be an elite security group).

              Sorry - of course it is!
              Have you tried Radio Klassik Stephansdom?

                I had plenty of fun hunting for direct streams like the akamaized links last year when the BBC, in their wisdom, decided to kill all the streams I was using in my phone's radio app. Serves me right for wanting to listen to all my radio stations in one app rather than use BBC Sounds and a dozen other apps from the big broadcasters. Sometimes simplicity get complicated...

                  Has anyone found a direct stream link for Ancient FM (Canada)?
                  I can access it via the website, or via the portal on my internet radio, but not by a direct URL.

                  This is what I use for Radio 3: (In Foobar with the Kernel Streaming add-on). Same as Aunt Daisy, only High Def - 320k instead of 128k.

                    Does this work & is it the right station? It happily plays in VLC player.
                    Code:
                    https://mediaserv73.live-streams.nl:18058/stream
                    (The URL came from looking at what this OnlineRadioBox webpage accessed, it's also accessed from this Ancient FM webpage).

                      AuntDaisy: Yes, that's the one, thank-you. It's good for pre Elizabethan music. They often have Elizabethan instrumental music and song, but not the big polyphonic pieces.

                        The OP hasn't returned to say whether he found any of this helpful?
