To listen to BladeCast, you need to ensure you have a program capable of streaming MP3s. There are quite a few programs that have this capability, so they shouldn't be hard to come by.

If, for whatever reason, all the streaming-capable media players on the planet have disappeared from your favourite search engine, you can find download locations and instructions for some of the more popular players here. See the section below for links to software which should work with the BladeCast. A more extensive list can be found here.

• WinAmp
  My own personal favourite is the older version of this, simply because it just works. Most versions of WinAmp are capable of receiving BladeCasts. This program is free.
• Windows Media Player
  The newer versions of this player seem perfectly capable of handling BladeCast. Some of the older ones may scream and run a mile at the sight of an MP3 stream. If this happens to you, upgrade your player or download an alternative. This program is also free.
• RealPlayer
  I will forgive you for having to resort to using this player if it's the only thing you can use, or if you are just plain insane enough to want to use it. I totally understand if, in an act of desperation, you are forced to use this software to listen to the BladeCast. Despite it having a free version, I would highly recommend using something else.

• iTunes
  By far the most common choice of media player for the Mac - I don't recall hearing of any others, so if there are other popular ones, let me know so I may list them here.
