I'm trying to connect to CFRB, which is in the MJ master database.  I get the message "Windows Media Player. Cannot open. Please verify that the path and filename are correct and try again."

I know that CFRB is active, as I'm able to listen to it directly from their website (i.e. not thru MJ).

How do I verify the path and filename?

I'm not sure.  Does it work if you use MJ -> File -> Open Streaming File... with the URL?

Thanks.

To listen to CFRB from their web site (www.cfrb.com), you first download a product called  "SurferNETWORK".  Then, when you bring up that product, it offers you the choice of 11 Canadian radio stations, one of which is CFRB.  The only URL I could find is: "http://rd1.surfernetwork.com/newsurfer4/single/standard.html".  I tried it in MJ, but all it said was "Stopped".

It looks like they have set up a special server for the 11 stations, with some sort of quasi-proprietary interface.  Is there a way to bypass and listen with MJ instead?

My original question was: "How do I discover what URL the MJ datbase is using for a streaming audio source already in the database?"
