Jazz on the Air
A note about listening to music live on the air. You usually will need to have RealRadio or the Windows Media Player on your computer. Most computers come with one or both of these devices. If you don't have it, you can usually download it in minutes for free, using a link from the website where the music is located. When you click on some music, it may take several minutes for the music to begin, and it might stay on in the background on your computer even after you have closed the browser or moved on to another website.
