Can someone tell me the steps I have to do to listen to the game on my computer. I'm in Philadelphia and last night I wanted to listen to the game but I couldn't find a link anywhere on the Athletics site.
I'm not a techno wizzard but it seems to me there should be a link to click on somewhere that is easy to find and hooks you up to the game. Maybe I'm just too dumb but if it's there I didn't see it.
Thanks in advance.

Simply go the the Troy basketball site and click on the "Live Audio" link that usually is placed at the top of the story previewing the upcoming game.
You will be sent to a link to WinAmp. Then follow the instructions. I think you have to download WinAmp (for free) the first time you go there.
Good luck. Our play-by-play and color guys do a great job.
P.S. If that doesn't work, you can go to the radio station's web site. Sorry, I don't remember the call letters.... although I think it's WTBF.

the station site is www.wtbf.com just look for the "live audio". Sometimes it doesn't work, but try it again and it will eventually work.

The WTBF audio method is the easiest way to listen to the game, but it doesn't work much of the time.
The other method is to download WinAmp (a competitor of Windows Media and RealAudio) and listen to the feed that way.
My continued rant is why we have to listen to Troy sports only on WinAmp, software with very few people have (or even have heard of)? Why not stream it in a less proprietary manner so anyone can listen without so much difficulty?
And why does the method change so much? During the past couple of years, we have been able to use only WinAmp, then any player, then only the Website-based radio feed, then back to WinAmp.
What happened to the long-promised live (or recorded) video feeds of basketball and football games?
Come on Troy tech people ... make it easy to grow your fan base!
