Ramair is now available in streaming MP3 format in two flavours:

High Bandwidth (128kbps) – http://www.ramair.co.uk/ramair_listen/mp3-128k.m3u
Low Bandwidth (24kbps) – http://www.ramair.co.uk/ramair_listen/mp3-24k.m3u

If you’re not sure, just choose high-bandwidth. If you want to bookmark the streams, please bookmark the .m3u links as they will always reflect lastest changes and improvements we make.

It should work fine on any computer with a media player installed, but if not, then let us know. We know it works with Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, Winamp, VLC and iTunes.

If you’re having issues getting the RamAir stream automatically opening in iTunes, or any other media area, then do the following:

1.    Right-click the stream and click ‘Save Target As…’. Save the file to your desktop.
2.    Right-click the desktop icon and hover-over ‘Open with’ and select ‘Choose Default Program…’.
3.    Select iTunes as the program and make sure the box next to ‘Always Use The Selected Program To Open This Kind Of File’ is selected and press OK.
4.    Delete the icon and the next time you click the website link it will open automatically in iTunes.
Listening on a Radio

Ramair broadcasts on 1350AM locally on campus. Simply set your radio to ‘AM’ and find 1350! If you can’t seem to get a signal, there are a couple of things you can try:

1.    Make sure your AM loop antenna is plugged in. This is the (normally black) plastic circle that will have come with your radio and plugs in the back with a small connector. If you have lost yours, you can buy one fairly easily from shops such as Maplin’s (next to Halfords)
2.    Try rotating your antenna. Due to the nature of AM, you can get massively improved signals at different angles. Positioning the antenna high up, and away from electrics such as lamps, computers, monitors and – yep – the radio itself can reduce interference.
If you’re still having trouble getting reception, why not listen online?
