4) I Use AOL and get an error
message when trying to listen
AOL 6.0 and above uses
their own streaming player. We recommend you disable
AOL's streaming player and use Windows Media Player
or Winamp.
Instructions:
Find your "settings" it should be on your AOL
toolbar,
look for "multimedia" under the "by category tab".
Click "Multimedia" again,
uncheck the box that says "Use AOL media player for
supported file types",
click "save".
You may also need to
reset Windows Media Player to play the audio file
types.
Instructions:
Open Windows Media Player,
click the "Tools" menu,
then select "Options".
Choose the "File Types" tab and
click the "select all" button, then click "Apply".
Now try the audio link again on the website's listen
page.

5) I have a compatible media
player but I still can't listen
Many places such as
office buildings, libraries and schools have
firewalls which block streaming media from playing
through their server.
If you are getting a
specific error message, the Windows Media website
can usually help resolve these errors. Simply look
up the error code on their website for information
on how to resolve it.

6) Why is this show not available
as a Podcast?
We have had several
requests for Podcasts and although we realize this
is a very popular medium, most of the artists do not
wish their live performances to be downloadable.
Because these are live
recordings with no "fixes" to the music and/or
playing of the artists, we must respect their wishes
and offer the shows in streaming format only.
We feel very
privileged that all of these great artists are
allowing us to record their performances so we can
share them with you, so we hope that even though we
can not offer downloadable shows, you will still
continue to enjoy these unique performances.
.......................................................................................
7) Can I download the shows
and/or share them on
Kazaa, Torrents or other file sharing networks?
The artists on Cape
Breton Live agree to be recorded on the condition
that their live performance will NOT be
downloadable. For this reason our shows run off a
streaming server which does not allow downloading.
So unless you want to be
responsible for spoiling it for everyone... we
request that you please respect the musicians and
copyright laws and enjoy the shows without trying to
save them.
This also applies to
using any music from Cape Breton Live in a YouTube
video without prior written consent.
