VLC Player is Multi Platform for Windows,Mac & Linux

Community radio in the heart of the Huon Valley Tasmania AustraliaListening to 95.3 & 98.5 Huon FM

All you need is a computer with an internet connection to hear us from anywhere in the world.

Yes. On most computers it's as simple as clicking one of the links below.

If you are using a PC,  We recommended Winamp Foobar,Realplayer 11. Also check out VLC Media Player.if you are using the Linux OS    

I'm using AOL and I can't connect to the stream.

Solution: If you're using the browser inside AOL, try opening another browser such as Internet Explorer and try again.

I can't connect to any of the streams when I'm at work, but I have no problem listening at home.

First make sure your computer has one of the supported players listed above. If you are getting an error such as "Unable to Connect" then your workplace probably has a firewall that is blocking your connection to our servers.

When I'm listening, the stream will suddenly go silent and "buffering" comes up in the player.

Check your internet connection. If you are using a wireless connection, try disabling it and using a wired connection to the internet. Even fast wireless connections can create enough delay to cause a problem. If playing does not resume, press stop and then play.  If that does not solve the problem, then your internet connection may not be fast enough to support streaming media. Keep trying. This can happen at times of the day when internet traffic is heavy.

I have the latest version of Winamp but when I click the link for the AAC+ stream, another program opens and nothing happens.

Solution: , click the add button, then click add URL and paste this into the window:

Then click OK and double-click the new playlist entry

Problem: I'm connected to the stream, but all I hear is static.

Solution: That means there's a problem with one of our servers. Please report the problem to the email address at the bottom of this page.

Problem: I still can't get any of the links to work on my computer.

Solution: Ok, don't panic. Send an email to the address listed at the bottom of this page. Be sure to include as many details as possible about the problem you are having.

What is this streaming thing? Is it like internet radio?

Yes. 95.3 Huon FM is a radio station based in Geeveston on the island of Tasmania Australia that you can also hear on the internet.

Your computer talks to our state-of-the-art servers and says, "Hello. I'd like to hear 95.3 Huon FM." Our servers respond by sending a constant stream of thousands of ones and zeros per second back to your computer at the speed of light. Your computer then takes that stream of data and turns it back into beautiful music.

What do I have to give you in return for this wonderful service?

Nothing. It's free. Just listen and enjoy. If you like what you hear, be sure to send the DJ an email.

It's a format designed to sound better than mp3 at lower bitrates. Unfortunately, it's new and is still unsupported in some players, but it does work in Real Player 11,Foobar 2000,Winamp versions 5.08 or newer, and in VLC Media player. It can also play in Windows Media Player if you install a free plugin provided by Orban, a company that specializes in broadcast technology. For more information on AAC+, also known as aacPlus, check out Coding Technologies.

Can I link directly to your streams from my website/blog/profile/etc?

Please do, but if you link directly to our streams, then please also link back to www.huonfm.com in case someone has trouble using the link you provided and needs help connecting.
