KAAM Legends AM 770 Radio, (added 2/2006) Garland/Dallas/Ft. Worth Texas is a radio station playing old popular standards music.
Here is a link to the online stream of KAAM.
The stream will work on Windows by just visiting the web page. However, the stream player will work with Linux only if you have "Mplayer". I was able to get the stream to work on Slackware by:
1. Downloading the Mplayer source code from the Mplayer download page.
2. When the file is downloaded, unzip it (I use "MC" file manager for easy unzipping) and go to the unzipped files directory, then do ./configure, make, and make install. It will take a while to make (like 15 minutes or so) if you are using an older machine.
3. Download the MPlayer Plug In for Mozilla unzip the file, go to the directory, and do ./configure, make, and make install.
This is all you have to do to get the audio stream working, you don't have to install the Mplayer fonts or skins or extra codecs for the KAAM application.
