I have posted several times on the failure of Radio Swiss Jazz ever to operate and cannot get a response beyond "it works for me." Since the inclusion of streaming in MC, RSJ has never worked for me in any version through and including v.71. Meanwhile, Radio Swiss Classic has always worked. Here is what I do play RSC which I presume is the same process for RSJ given that the screens are identical except for color:
1. I click up Radio Swiss Classic icon in MC
2. I click on "Start the Radio"
3. A box appears that gives me the options of "Play Stream," "Add Stream to Web Media," and "Record Stream for n minutes."
4. I select "Play Stream," click OK, and the music starts every time.
I click on the Radio Swiss Jazz icon to attempt the same process, but nothing happens when I click "Start the radio." No box appears. Holding down the CTRL key (per instructions seen in the box in RSC) has no effect.
Please, someone tell me how to correct this. Since I can stream 4k videos without issue and operate other streaming service from within MC, I am going to presume that neither my network nor Internet connection is at fault.

I have reported the non-functioning ctrl key option and hopefully someone will look at it. The only reason I can see for the lack of RSJ not playing would be that previously you have selected one of the non playback options and selected the keep using this answer box. Until the crtl +link option works it is hard to see how you would correct this.
EDIT: Can't find anything relevant in the registry. Removing streaming, restarting mc then adding streaming back doesn't work, removing the link address, restarting mc and then adding the link back in has no effect. Reset all confirmation messages selected and restarting MC has no effect. I'm not going to the extreme of removing MC and reinstalling!

I think you got a lot of information back on this thread: https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,118054.msg817030.html#msg817030
But you didn't provide much feedback to comments. Specifically, did you try this?
Anyway, to get Radio Swiss Jazz playing, given the above issues, click on the headphone icon to the right of the highlighted track, which has a tooltip of "Hear Extract". Let that play, and when it finishes (if it does - it might just keep going playing the programme), click the "Start the radio" button. That worked for me, but as I said above, it isn't playing through the MC audio engine.
That is, did you hear any music when you clicked the "Hear Extract" icon? It takes a couple of seconds to start, and plays for about 30 seconds.

For me both of Swiss channels are played through browser when I press "Start The Radio" (MC 24.0.71 64bit)

Been away for awhile and just now returning. Again I am attempting to play Radio Swiss Jazz with virtually zero success. The "virtual" part is that I can get sound for a brief period when I click on HEAR EXTRACT icon beside a given selection, but that is the total sound I have ever heard from Radio Swiss Jazz. It will not play when I click START THE RADIO, not if I wait thirty seconds or thirty minutes. Meanwhile, Radio Swiss Classic has always worked. I am now on v.74 (64 bit), but RSJ has never worked on any release.

The issue with Radio Swiss Jazz has been addressed. It works the same as Radio Swiss Classic now.
The improvement will be available in a future public release of MC.
