Laptop/Iheart radio question
08-14-2013 | Me

Posted on 08/14/2013 2:49:24 PM PDT by Kevin in California

Hi all, hopefully someone has the answer to my question. I am having trouble at home listening to talk radio via Iheart radio. I have a laptop with a Windows 7 Home version OS and everytime I click on the Iheart icon, the hourglass spins as if it’s about to load then it freezes on my screen and I have to power down from the on/off switch.

Is Iheart radio compatible to Windows 7?

Thank you in advance:-)

did you see if it happens with google chrome instead of internet explorer?

I just had a similar problem with Internet Explorer on windows 8 - my Netflix goes to 99% and hangs (completely)

Google chrome plays the same movie just fine

I hate Microsoft lately

No software is truly compatible with any version of Windoze.. There are just those programs that crash less.

I listen to Rush on Firefox every day with no problem.

Get the ‘Tunein’ app. It works much better for me than iheart. I play it on a Kindle Fire 8.9” HD.

I use a standalone program called Radiosure. It doesn’t connect to all radio stations in its list, but I primarily listen to WMAL AM, as it has Rush at noon and Mark Levin at 5 ET.

RadioSure FTW on PC and TuneIn Radio on Android

I’m running Iheart on a Win 7 machine with no trouble.

I second the TuneIn app... worth getting the paid version. iHeart doesn’t do a thing for me.

I had problems with streaming radio stations on my computers. Now I just access them through apps on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. They work great and I can take it with me.

Are you running the latest IE? All my problems went away when I upgraded to IE 10.

Clear out your cache, completely. Remove & reinstall Flash player. Try Firefox or Chrome instead of IE.

That's all I got, I rarely use windoze on my laptop because it is vista and a pig (but I repeat myself). Linux and Firefox most of the time, it plays all the media just fine (except Netflix which is married to Silverlight).

I use Iheart on my Android devices, Iheart carries the Mark Levin 24/7 feed and it works better than the "official" Airkast app.

TuneIn has more "live" stations overall I think, but hasn't carried the Mark Levin feed lately, so I use both.
