HI All, I am new to Mac and to this group.  I have listened to ESPN
radio online with my PC for years without difficulty, but cant on this
Mac; I am using Mac OS X.  I have tried on both Safari and FireFox,
installed the recommended Microsoft Quicktime plugins, installed
"flip4Mac", none of which have resolved the issue.  Would appreciate
suggestions. Thanks.

Well it appears that once again, the .asx on their page is malformed....
I edited the sources to find the .asx, then the .asx to find the proper
link and found this:
mms://espnrad-espnradio.wm.llnwd.net/espnrad_espnradio

If you use this link, you should be able to listen to ESPN radio without
any problem (privided you have the FLip4Mac codecs installed - which you
told me you did).

You might want to consider sending the ESPN folks an e-mail to tell them
they have a problem on their site and that their .asx is not properly
formed to be compatible for Mac users as well.

That's no big deal as far as your issue is solved.
You can even bookmark the link in QuickTime player if you want an easy
access :-))

Wonderful! Thanks for e-mailing them. You never know, they might even
actually fix the issue :-))
