What
plugins do I need to use virginradio.co.uk?
To
listen to audio, watch videos, or do other stuff on
the Virgin Radio website, you might need to download
some free software. Here's where to find it - just
hit the button next to the software that you want.
All this software is available for Windows or Mac
machines.
 Real
Player
Much of our content on the site is in Real format.
We use Real Player because it automatically adapts
to the speed of your content - so if you're at work
with a fast connection, our videos almost look as
good as TV, and our audio is almost CD quality.
 Windows
Media Player
We recommend the use of Windows Media Player when
listening to us online - because you get all kinds
of other information when listening.
 Quicktime
You can also listen to us in Quicktime format, though
we don't generally encode our archives in this format.
Our Quicktime feed is fed a different way than our
Windows and Real audio feed, so it might be worth
a try if you're having problems connecting.
 Winamp
Winamp's a free MP3 player, which we use in the office.
Shortly, you'll be able to hear Virgin Radio streamed
in MP3 too, which Winamp copes with just fine (quite
apart from playing your MP3 collection). We like it,
so here's a download linkfor it.
 Flash
This isn't an audio program, more a program which'll
help you enjoy the more interactive parts of the site,
like Pete 'n' Geoff.
 Microsoft
Internet Explorer
We develop our site using Microsoft Internet Explorer,
Netscape 4.7 and Netscape 6. We regularly check it
using Opera and those wierd things on BT payphones.
The vast majority of our users use Microsoft Internet
Explorer, though, and we recommend that you download
it (even just so that if you ever run into problems
on any other site you'll be able to use it).
