jim dineen- Read the rest.

Computers are the route, with decent speakers. eBetter than any FM reception anywhere.

The 128k web stream is better, more accurate, than any FM. Decent speakers, I do use Bose computer speakers, are the ticket to happiness.

veronica-

Check Susan Rodgers' comment. BTW, the 128k stream is better than ANY FM signal.

Susan M. Rogers-

Glad you found your way, we have been touting this work-around for months.

I was beside myself with misery the first time I listened to the opera emitted by your pathetic 'new' facility in Newark, and I couldn't find anybody to take a complaint.

Streaming is superb, so what to do? I'm surprised everybody hasn't already thought of this: get a computer speaker extension cord (mine is 20 feet and I even keep a spare, $12.99 apiece at Radio Shack). Then put a little computer speaker where you enjoy listening.

Mine is on the bottom shelf of a 3-tier rolling cart, topped by the TV (which you could have on muted if you wanted, by the way). The whole thing swivels between kitchen and dining area. Problem solved.

alas, i too, turning 60 in a few weeks have listened my entire life on the radio. sadly, here in fort lauderdale, there is no radio i can try in my home to receive the broadcasts. i'm either listening in my car or sitting at the computer. better than nothing but i'd love to be in my easy chair than in my desk chair. can anyone help?

As a new WQXR listener, I am saddened
to have only the Internet on which to hear
this glorious music.
You wish contributions, I would, but to
what? Cablevision?

Dear Mr. Dineen:

I. too, am having problems receiving Met broadcasts here in Jersey City. So I got a good pair of speakers for my computer and now listen on my computer, which was purchased to handle the requirements of the Met Player, for which I have a 12-month subscription. I've had my problems receiving satisfactory telecasts of several of the operas and discovered I had to remove and reinstall a program which made the subtitles visible: I had installed an updated program which would not work wity the player. It seems the Met engineers have their share of problems.

BTW, the speakers I got are Altec Lansing and they sound superb!

Try as I may, even the Bose people, can't help sound here in Princeton Jct. The fellow I sit next to @ the Met lives in Poughkeepsie also cannot hear and he had Bose, too. Only way is by Internet. Is there any other booster (as one Bose sent me doesn't help) that can assist? Very disappointed as I've listened in since childhood in the late 1940s?

I have listened to WQXR's Saturday afternoon operas since the late 50's....I have been a solid customer for more than 50 years BUT now I can no longer get reception in my home in RYE. I have 3 receivers....and all we hear is scratchy sounds - no music. What have you done to eliminate reception.
Milton Cross would find a way to correct.
I can receive in my car and computer but no fixed receivers.
