IIUM FM


I'm IIUM student :) and I'm glad that IIUM has it own radio, which is broadcasting over the Internet. Users could simply go to this page http://livestream.iiu.edu.my/iiumfm/ and it will stream the radio using supported player in web browser. Nice huh?.. Hehe.

Beside that, for Linux user, you can simply use Rythmbox as follow:
Step 1: Make sure plugins are installed

ubuntu user,
$ sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

and fedora,
$ sudo yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-ffmpeg

It is also necessary to install a bunch of codecs in here

Step 2: adding link
open your rythmbox, go to menu 'Music',click on 'New Internet Radio Station' and add this url
mms://livestream.iiu.edu.my/iiumfm

Then, go to side bar on Radio, then double click on the new added link.
That's it. Enjoy ;)
