When using the WebUI, anything that you can set as a favorite has a heart icon 
next to it.  Click that and it will be added to the bottom of your favorites 
list.  That includes browsing local music and browsing internet radio stations 
from providers (eg. Internet Radio > Radio IO > [radio station name].

Using the Classic SqueezeBox player UI (eg. infra-red remote control), you can 
browse to a radio station, and then right-arrow in to it to see the details.  
The first item on the menu should be "Add to Favorites" (followed by title, url 
and bitrate, I think).

It's not possible to add a local artist, album, genre, year as a favorite, 
unless you have a Transporter style remote with a favorites button - SB3 
remotes don't have one (mine doesn't anyway).

I don't know about the SBC interface.


You used to be able to add extra radio stations to "My Radio Stations", which 
was a bit like favorites.

The difference, in my mind, is that you can add lots of radio stations that 
perhaps do not appear under radio station providers to "My Radio Stations", and 
from that could make some of those radio stations favorites, so they appear in 
the favorites list, and you can then associate quick hotkeys to those 
favorites.  eg. I have set a news station as a favorite and mapped key 6 on my 
Boom front panel to start the news radio station.

I manually connected to a radio station for the Farnborough Airshow.  I only 
use the radio station one day every 2 years.  I don't want to set it as a 
favorite, but I want to remember/store the radio station so I can find it the 
next time I need it.  "My Radio Stations" is ideal, in that you can organise 
the content into sub-folders, just like favorites.  An alternative is to save 
the radio station as a playlist (but they are not hierarchical - just a flat 
list of playable items).
