How to Get the Howard Stern Show via the Internet

Howard Stern fans (like me) are reeling over the recent decision of distribution partner Clear Channel to pull the Stern show in many cities. Rest easy. We have the step-by-step instructions on how to download the show daily with your PC. All you need is a piece of software called Pix News Pro ($40) and access to a newsgroup server. Spread the word.

Here are the instructions from TechSono:

1. Download PixNewsPro.
2. Create a Downloader for your news server. If you don't know your server URL, call your ISP.
3. Add the alt.binaries.howard-stern newsgroup to your Downloader.
4. If your ISP does not carry the Stern newsgroup, subscribe to TechSono News Service.
5. Set PixNewsPro to download only MP3 files.
6. Click the Scan button.
7. PixNewsPro will now start to download Stern audio files.
The files are large and posted in pieces, so be patient while the program works.
8. Click the "Open" button on the Downloader window.
When PixNewsPro is done creating a file, you will see it in the Downloads folder.
9. Double-click on a file to play it like any MP3 file.
