Radio Free Colorado relies on Financial Support from our Listener Community to pay for our monthly operating expenses. Listener Donations keep us on the air, and totally eliminate the need to play commercials between the songs.

If you could make $5, $10 or $20 Donations (or an additional amount you want to make) that would be great. When you make a Donation, you keep Radio Free Colorado on-the-air. The entire Radio Free Colorado Listener Community world-wide benefits!

Radio Free Colorado is Broadcasting in
5.1 Channel Surround Sound !

Radio Free Colorado is now streaming its broadcast to you in High Quality 5.1 Channel Surround Sound.

If you have Gaming or Surround Sound speakers connected to your PC, you can now receive Radio Free Colorado in 5.1 Channel Surround Sound.

Internet Radio listeners voted in an Online Poll that Radio Free Colorado sounds better than 95% of the other Rock Radio Internet Radio Stations listed on Shoutcast.com — the world's largest Directory of Internet radio stations (over 12,000 stations are listed).

Microsoft's new Windows® 7 software includes Dolby® Digital Plus Surround Sound decoding for up to 7.1 Channels of Surround Sound. Radio Free Colorado currently streams in 5.1 Channel Surround Sound.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32-bit or 64-bit) users need only use Windows Media Player 11 or 12, with the proper Surround Decoder Plug-in, and a PC setup with multiple Surround Sound speakers.

Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 users can use Winamp (Free!) in Direct Sound mode, a multi-channel sound card and speakers to receive Radio Free Colorado in 5.1 Channel Surround Sound. Windows users should use the Andrew Labs ATSurround plug-in for Winamp for best Surround Quality.

Detailed and correct setup instructions for using Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 to play in Surround Sound mode (and for Winamp) can be found here and here.

Winamp users (Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7) can experience higher quality 5.1 Channel Surround Sound decoding by using the Andrew Labs ATSurround plug-in. Using the ATSurround plug-in with Winamp to listen to Radio Free Colorado will provide an improved and more enjoyable Surround Sound listening experience than using Winamp alone. We recommend the ATSurround plug-in. You can try the ATSurround plug-in for free; purchase cost is only $9.95.

Radio Free Colorado is using the latest version of Omnia Digital Audio Processing. The Omnia brand is a "professional type of DSP sound processing" used by the finest quality FM and HD Radio Broadcasters world-wide. Other new electronics equipment, PC's and specialized MPEG streaming software is being used for better overall sound quality on our Fraunhofer 192 kbps MP3 5.1 Channel Surround Sound stream.

Another way to receive Radio Free Colorado in 5.1 Channel Surround Sound would be to use the Logitech Squeezebox Duet WiFi Internet Radio, the Roku SoundBridge M1000/M1001 Network Music System, the Sonos BU250 Multiroom Music System or other brand of Internet Radio reception device compatible with connecting via Wires or Wirelessly to your Home Theater Surround Sound equipment.

An even better 5.1 Channel Audio Listening Solution is to use a proper digital output connection (HDMI with audio, or a coaxial or optical digital cable) from your PC to a compatible digital input on your Home Theater Surround Sound system. Some "HTPC's" (Home Theater PC's) already have the necessary connections for Home Theater Surround Sound Equipment. If you have any "Subwoofer Hum": there are a number of solutions for this "ground loop hum" effect; CLICK HERE for excellent Technical Solutions that will work.

Use the Surround Sound settings on your PC or Home Theater which sound best to you - there are many choices of Surround Sound listener settings on PC's and Home Theater equipment. Which settings you prefer the most are very much your own individual choice.

We suggest first beginning with Surround Sound settings which use your Front Left/Right speakers, the Center speaker, the Rear Left/Right speakers and the Subwoofer all at once (5.1 Channels). From there, you can experiment with different Surround Sound modes, speaker balance and effect settings.
