Q: How do I change the Global Station Tuner™ settings?

Within MyTuner, choose "Edit Settings" from the right-click menu.

If the player is not open, go to your Start Menu, and select "Global Station Tuner Settings" from the SWCast Network folder.

Q: Can I listen to broadcasts directly inside MyTuner?

Yes! Simply open the Global Station Tuner Settings, and change your default player to Windows Media. Playback controls will appear directly within MyTuner.

Q: Is there way to start MyTuner from the Web browser?

Indeed there is. Type 'tuner:' all by itself into the address bar and hit Enter.

Q: How do I save the entire playlist history?

Right click in the MyTuner window. A popup menu will appear. Choose "Save Playlist".

A full log of the playlist will open in the associated text viewer.

Q: If I know the call-name of a station, how do I tune in?

From within MyTuner (or your Web browser address bar), type in "gst:" followed by the ID of the station. If you want to connect to a higher or lower-bitrate stream, insert either "lo-band@" or "hi-band@" just before the station ID.

Q: Why do I receive a "Could not transfer file" error during setup?

If you are a Windows XP user, this is likely caused by improper or nonstandard security settings on your computer or else a virus checker or spyware blocker. Resolution: Add '*.swcast.net' to your list of trusted sites in the Internet zone and the files will save properly to your computer.

Q: I'm a broadcaster, so why doesn't my station show in the directory?

Only Premiere Placement broadcasts as part of SWCast.net Personal Broadcast Services are listed in the MyTuner directory.

Q: Why am I notified that GST addresses have no file associations?

You will need to install the latest version of Windows Script Host.
