Head-filling chords with a little acoustic guitar to keep the pace nice and slow.  Road tested with a nice long run, it worked well.

It’s stable and functional. You need a player capable of handling Vorbis audio streams.

Possibly the easiest way for Windows users to access the stream is to download Winamp. Alternative options may be found here, such as ways of getting Windows Media Player to work with Vorbis.

Then, simply point your player here.

Experimentation continues. Trying a different approach. If you can support OGG streams, click here. (This means Winamp or Linux users for now)

I’m experimenting with streaming Still Audio via SHOUTcast. So far so good. You can listen to the stream by searching for “Still Audio” here, or (for the moment at least) clicking here.

Update: No more SHOUTcast. Only Vorbis for now. You can add the following URL to your stream player (Winamp etc): http://www.stillaudio.com:8000/stillaudio.ogg.m3u

Something a bit different this time. I’ve been a long-time fan of the music featured over on Kahvi Collective. When Nik at Kahvi suggested a special podcast with tracks selected by him that truly define the Kahvi sound - how could I refuse?

Welcome to Still Audio #14 - The Kahvi Special. Enjoy.
