Hi Justin, I now see what you mean. I turned off echo and typed some words in Chrome. They weren’t spoken. I restored echo by words, and the words were spoken. As you know, Chrome isn’t

Mike & All, Yes, many, if not most, radio stations are using services like iHeart and TuneIn. It is all about the money. They don't want to individually be paying for the band width of streaming a

Bill The first time someone attempted to explain the use of the quote marks to me several years back, I too was confused. Once seeing an example, it became very clear and now it's second-nature to

JM The reason stations are not using Winamp/VLC/Foobar streams is that they are shifting to web-based streams either players or services such as TuneIn, Audacy and Iheart -- nothing to do with what

I see now, Kevin actually wrote: Hi Bill, Thanks for the verification. I put the url with a space inside the double quotes. I moved the url outside the double quotes and it works!!! Kevin Without

Yes, you have it exactly as I said it has to be, with a quote at the beginning, and at the end of the filename, before the URL. The quotes are actually there. I never said there should be quotes

VLC is a lot more versatile than winamp when it comes to playing streams. You just have to know where to point the thing. But yeah. An m3u is just a text file that points to various locations, either

Bill I concur with you. When I've not included the quote marks correctly (or forgotten one or both of them), it has never worked for me. And this goes back to the earliest days of my use of

I suspect that whomever originally copied the URL may have copied a space at the end, which made the link invalid. By editing it with quotes, they affectively cleaned out the extra space. Sighted

Hm. Well, guess you're right, then. I think Bill was saying that the pathname belongs in quotes, not the url, which did make sense to me, or at least does under most circumstances 9IE, the browser

Well here is the path to my browser shortcut with quotes in the browser path, but none in the URL. When I checked on the quotes in the browser initially, my Jaws didn't read the last quote, but Jaws

I suspect the answer is still, it depends. There'sa lso another way of entering in characters like the space that doesn't require quotes, but for most people, putting in quotes is just easier than %20

Yes, that would be right in a pure CLI or run box. But shortcuts don't seem to need that convention. That needs to be followed in Linux too, because the computer would have no way of knowing if that

Hey Glen. Just to verify what I think the deal is, can you tell us the path to your browser?

Well Bill, it works, and neither the path to the browser nor the URL have any quotes. I don't know what else to tell you. Glenn

Using quotes may not be necessary in all cases. But it's probably best to get into the habit of using them anyway. The reason I think has to do with old command line conventions which didn't allow

Hi, Glenn. I beg to differ with you. If you don't put the path and filename inside quotes, and the URL outside the quotes, it won't work. What you may be confused about is this: A double quote is one

Outstanding. Justin

In the leasey package but I am not sure about stand alone I don’t think so though.

I’ve noticed that also. Does Brian Hartgen have scripts for this? Justin
