Request for feedback re. Steel Radio

Roy Ayres · Post by **Roy Ayres** » 3 Sep 2003 6:11 am

I subscribed to Real One Playes for purpose of picking up Steel Radio during the convention. I assumed (perhaps erroneously) that Steel Radio would be on the air throughout the year. If that is not true, I want to cancel Real One before the free trial period expires.

What's the deal?

SteelRadio is on pretty much all the time. You don't need the fancy RealPlayer to hear it. The standard (free) version does just fine. I'm still using RealPlayer 8. When you go to their home page, the free player is there, you just gotta look to find it!

Thanks, Donny. You just saved me about $50 per year. (I hope you aren't expecting a commission!)

Moved to the SteelRadio.com section of the Forum.

Hey, you guys:

Donny solved my problem. In case any of you want to listen to Steel Radio and need the RealOne Player for your computer, you can, in fact, get the free version from the link Donny gave me. I hadn't found it but, instead, I had downloaded the version that gives you 14 days free and, if you don't cancel, it automatically hits your credit card for $49.95 annually.

The link for the free download is

RealOne Free Download

Isn't this Forum a great place for sharing information? Thanks for that, b0b -- and you may close this thread if you wish.

Also you can listen in winamp,
which is far less annoying than real player.
real player is always trying to get you to upgrade to real one and sell you stuff.

The only time steel radio isn't on in my studio is when I'm playing some old 78's of Sol Hoopii or Dick McIntyre!!!!!

Mayeb you could add some of the old Hawaiian stylists to the playlist but so far....

It's freakin' GREAT STUFF! KEEP IT ON!!!

I tried Steel Radio during the convention and it was a big bust for me. 90% of the time I just got a message that your requested server is full, and then when I did get on, I got 20 seconds of the convention, then 30 seconds of silence with the message "rebuffering". So, it was useless for me.

Steelradio works fine all the way here
everyday or nite.
like Donny H, i use the free version of RP (8)
i won't upgrade to RP One -
During ISGC i must have been lucky, cause i listened to most of it without bein' cut off
Thanx SteelRadio

Steel what?

I just tried SteelRadio again, and the same results. I got on just fine, listened to 20 seconds of steel then 30 seconds of silence for "rebuffering". This cycle is continuous. Can anybody offer some help as to why others can listen, but I can't? My system is 8.6 Macintosh Imac. My internet provider is AOL.

I have also tried to listen to SteelRadio in the past.wether realplayer or Winamp,I also got about 20 seconds of music and 30 seconds of buffering.Is this due to the fact that I use dial-up and not broad-band?

When my wife called via phone to cancel RealOne, they told her the on/off delays were because we had a dial-up connection. (We can't get DSL here; we live so far out in the boonies we don't get the Grand Ole Opry until Thursday.)

Since I see no one has mentioned it,let me suggest my favorite player, Musicmatch. I use it altogether now as I've found it to be best for me to record with as well as to listen to Steel Radio annd mine stays on most of the time with very little trouble or dropouts.
And its free for the basic and a $20 feeto get all the bells and whistles.

Nothing/nobody ever comes to this neck o' the woods but thanks to whoever it was that clued me in that Scotty's show could be heard on this site. What a great experience.
I've listened to it daily and could hardly be without it.
WHo selects the songs for the program?
MORE info' for some of us residing outside the music loop of St.Louis. THANK YOU

Would somebody mind telling me where to find SteelRadio.com? I searched the Internet and even downloaded RealOnePlayer (free) to look for it, but the station was nowhere to be found. This search was done on Sept 12, 2003.

Forget it, I found it on Scotty's website.

Isn't it just www.steelradio.com ??

www.live365.com is the BEST and easiest Internet radio I have found and has an unbelievable selection of programming to choose from. Just type in SGI Radio in the search box and it should bring it right up.
