FAQ about The Lynx

Here are some of the e-mails we get about CRIK FM - The Lynx, as answered by our cracked staff!!

I absolutely love your Radio Station. I listen to the CRIK Classic Rock station all the time using my ROKU music player. I'm interested in programming it for ALL your stations. What are the link addresses? I'd like to have the addresses for the 192kbyte quality streams instead of the 96kbyte streams. The current station I'm listening to has been programmed with 192kbyte stream. Your station is great! I just hooked my friend up with a ROKU and immediately programmed the device with your station. It's so good to be able to listen to such a huge variety of classic rock I just can't get anywhere else. Rock on!

Thanks Greg! Here are the 'Lynx' to all the stations you and other people can program into their ROKU Players:

When I use the Real Audio Player, I keep losing the sound periodically. When the sound goes 'south' for a few seconds it has to buffer before it gets to the 100% level. Then it comes back for a while and then I lose it again. I was wondering if there is something I can do?

Real Audio Players by default are set to what is called 'Perfect Play'. The idea is to offer better playback performance on live broadcasts by saving a potion of the audio to your hard drive.

The problem is, this causes the stream to stop and rebuff the new content every 30 minutes (by default). To eliminate the problem:

	At the top of the player, click on Tools ----> Preferences
	Under Category and under General, click on Playback Settings
	Uncheck 'Enable pausing & seeking within live internet clips for' (as shown below)

Click OK and your done.

You shouldn't have any problems with the station rebuffing every 30 minutes.

Thanks to Loyal Lynx Listener Ken From Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada for calling this problem into our Lynx Listener Line.

Every time the song changes, I hear a clicking sound. It can get quite annoying. Is there a way to fix that?

Yes there is:

If you are using XP:

	Click Start -------> Control Panel.
	Click on 'Sounds and Audio Devices', then click on the 'Sounds' Tab.
	Under 'Program Events' scroll down until you see 'Windows Explorer'. There is a sub menu called 'Start Navigation'. Highlight that.
	Under the 'Sounds' drop down menu, select 'None'. Then click OK.

For Windows 2000:

	Click Start -------> Settings -------> Control Panel
	Click on 'Sounds & Multimedia'
	Click on 'Sounds and Audio Devices'
	Click on the 'Sounds' tab, then scroll down to the section for 'Windows Explorer'.
	Click the event called "Start Navigation", and change the setting to "none" from the dropdown box.

When I click on The Windows Media Player icon on the stations, I get a box that asks if I want to play an .asf file. When I click open, it brings up the Windows Media Player, but it then gives me an error message and doesn't play. Is there a problem on the website?

The short answer is no. The problem usually stems from the installation of Winamp.

It automatically takes over any asx and asf files normally used by Windows Media Player and assumes you want to play those files in Winamp. So, when you click on the Windows Media Player icon, (even though it is actually an asx on the website), it may ask you to open an .asf file.

To fix this, go into the preferences area of your newly installed Winamp player, click on File Types and de-select ASF file association as illustrated below:

Click ok, and that should fix the problem.

Check back again soon! We will be updating this page with more of your e-mail questions!
