Nic9x Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Since evreyone here proberly know that the closeing of windows media quide made windows media player lose a big feature on its own, i do wonder if that could be patched to another website that had radio streaming with wma support.

Tommy Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It's possible, but I don't recall anyone attempting it. I would think there should be a way to just change the address pointer in the program itself (by brute force of course). But I would like to say as well that it was a bit of a pain that this happened. I loved listening to KeepFreeMusic, the 60s oldies radio channel through WMP and even though you can still stream on their own site, it's just not the same. Edit: I fixed your topic title so that it will hopefully attract more attention from users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

submix8c Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Windows 10 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/groove Need I say more? As a matter of fact, this link has a link to old site which redirects to Groove. http://www.tenforums.com/software-apps/44143-windows-media-player-media-guide-not-present.html Unless it can be hacked to another "Media Guide" somehow you'll have to "work around" directly linking (I assume) a given song from a given website's streamed selections. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/3882c42d-47be-42e8-8957-46405764c80c/internet-radio-on-windows-media-player-12?forum=w7itpromedia Edited October 20, 2016 by submix8c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic9x Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 But groove is a monthly pay to service windodws media quide where free you know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Nope, sorry, I don't. And yes, I know "Groove" is a pay service. That's why I said "need I say more" because it's about MS' OS+WMP+$$$. That was the whole point of indicating using (if possible/found) direct links to a given music file that can be "streamed". You did read the links saying as much, didn't you? The given websites will have a server streaming the file directly into WMP. MS tossed the MediaGuide (free) and instituted Groove ($$$). Did you note that Groove is also available for non-Windows OS Media Players as well? Again, it was about the $. Good luck in your search for an alternative "free" media guide. If you find one, let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic9x Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 that what im looking about for in my spare time, and i did look on groove further, my fault! But if i find the right site then somebody will patch media quide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
