I'm in the booth helping Sonny out with the technical stuff. If you can't connect or think the volume is too low or what not, post!

Just to get everyone some help with connecting, and hopefully not sound too pedantic, make sure you have the right URL for your media player.

How do I listen with Windows Media Player?
Open Windows Media Player > File > Open URL > http://www.collegelax.us:8000/live

How do I listen with Winamp?
Open Winamp > File > Open URL > http://www.collegelax.us:8000/live

How do I listen with Quicktime Player?

How do I listen with VideoLan (Free VLC Player)
Open VideoLan > File > Open stream > http://www.collegelax.us:8000/live

Straight from http://www.collegelax.us/listen.php
the URL starting with

Hope this helps

BROADCAST NOTES:

We had approx. 425 unique listeners to the Duluth/Sonoma game on Tuesday night with approx. 300 listeners last night to the CSU/Arizona State quarterfinal.

The audio quality of Friday and Saturday's broadcasts will be much better as we are able to use some of the professional microphones and equipment inside Pizza Hut Park's main stadium.

Just like last year's final game between CSU and Colorado - We will get high quality field level audio mixed into our radio broadcast. I'm sure you will enjoy hearing the chatter on the field during the radio broadcast and it will make for an even better sounding "radio" product.

Hope for close competitive games and also hope that Ken Lovic and I do the games justice. :)

Radio Engineer Chris Sakaguchi will be monitoring this thread all night long. So feel free to chime in with your comments about the quality of the audio, microphone levels, etc.

Hoping for some super competitive games. I hope to do both games justice.

How did we sound folks? Could you hear the audio (whistles, etc.) from the field OK? Was the mike levels between me and Ken OK?

Mike levels were fine, although you faded out from time to time. Could not hear much of the field level stuff at all.
