I think we're miscommunicating on some terminology here. For example, you say above that you don't edit the names in the playlist, but earlier you said -"When I add the radio station's common "call letters" to the playlist (on SB3,Boom) -". I don't understand how you can add call letters to the playlist without editing that playlist.
Second, I'm a little confused by what you mean by the "Now Playing category". It's not a "category" -- it is the current playlist. So do you switch radio stations by scrolling up and down the playlist in Now Playing and then press play? I know there are many ways to do things, but I'm sorry, that's just plain strange. ;o) I suggest shifting to the way things were designed to work. Or at least my interpretation of that. Put your favorite stations in Favorites. On MSB.com, use the very slick "Favorites" tool to add human-readable names such as call letters to go with the URLs. Use that tool's drag-and-drop capabilities to put your favorites near the top. I also like to group stations by type (eg, news, blues, world, etc.) If you use favorites and playlists the same way with SbS, I suggest changing that as well. One of the great things about favorites on SC/SbS is the ability to create and nest folders, so you don't have only one flat list of favorites like you do on SN/MSB. And SbS supports drag-and-drop re-ordering and nesting in folders. As you have a long list of favorites, re-organizing things will take some time. I suggest maybe just starting with your most favorite stations, and getting used to it. Btw, as you may have noticed, if you select a station to play from Favorites, your current playlist (ie, Now Playing) becomes just that one station. I know you were probably looking for a quick fix instead of an overhaul, and maybe if I understand better how you're doing things I'll be able to think of a quick fix. -- aubuti ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68947 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
