How do I listen to the live shows and events?

All the live shows can be accessed from the same everyday streams that are provided at The Vinyl Project.  Simply tune in to the stream (Ogg or MP3) that you prefer at the scheduled showtime.  The rotating radio streams will be automatically cut-over to the live shows when they start.  Pay attention to the timezone listed on the shows' schedules.  Most shows will be in EST (Eastern Standard Time).

What the heck is Ogg?

Ogg is short for Ogg Vorbis and it's a codec for audio files.  What is special about Ogg vorbis is that it's an open source codec, meaning that everyone can use it to decode/encode audio files without any restrictions on use.  Ogg Vorbis is a contribution by xiph.org, an organization dedicated to open media formats.  Visit vorbis.com for more information and to download setup files for your computer.
