So much nicer than the "holiday music" dreck that is played by my local rock station. Thanks!

Brenda, I tried to get the traditional, but the classical keeps coming up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Lucy

Hi Luce...it's just one station. You'll hear many old traditional songs in addition to classical---but not standards like Bing Crosby singing White Christmas. That would be nice also, wouldn't it, maybe on another station.? :)

I tried to bring it up and the site came up but no music and Christmas music is my favorite. Do I need to do something else when the link comes up?

olmphoto2 11-30-2011 01:39 PM

Yes...on the left side is a triangle on its side..click on it as that's the play button. :)
