Majlis Broadcasting FAQs
A way that may work to circumvent problems is to take the URL of the archive audio link and paste it directly into the Windows Media Player. If you want to listen live, try to download this file: http://www.khanqah.org/misc/majlis.asx which may help you receive the stream.
Alternately you can try opening mms://wm12.spacialnet.com/khaashrafia106124 in your browser.

Q. My computer has Windows installed on it. However, I cannot get the stream to play. Can you help?
A. You might not have a correct version of Windows Media Player installed. Microsoft's Media Player is Version 10. Depending on which version of Windows you are running, you should upgrade to either Version 9 or Version 10. You can determine your Windows Media Player version by starting the player from the Windows "Start" button, and then clicking Windows Media Player from the program listing. Then click "Help" and "About" from the menu.
