↳ Tom in Brooklyn @7:55
I see. No such thing for me here.
It's a SHOUcast site. One of any number of 'Radio Caprice' stations for specific Genres. These are out if Russia far as I can gather. They're probly not paying performance rights (or whatever it is) - but I've never had a problem.
Here's the URL to listen - perhaps can be used in a Player of choice :
79.111.14.76...
What does 'Secure Site Not Available' mean anyway ?
Anyhow - you'd think there'd be Indian Classical streams to choose from - but I'm always frustrated looking for more !...

It's because I changed a setting to flag for URLs commencing with http rather than https, such as this one 79.111.14.76
The 's' stands for secure. It protects you against potential malware, computer viruses and the like. Beinng from an IT background, and also seeing people's computers hosed up, I changed the setting. I don't remember which one off hand. I love Indian classical music, but have zero info on sites :)
