I finally found a working method: (1) I made sure my Boom was linked to SqueezeBox Server (=Logitech Media Server) on my PC. (instead of MySqueezeBox.com, as I used to have it) (2) On the Boom from its root menu, I *manually* initiated a search for KFI by actually entering in the characters "K" "F" "I" using the dial knob. (3) Once the search successfully found KFI, I pressed the 'next' arrow to launch the station stream.
...and hallelujah, KFI plays!!! (but be forewarned: along with the expected station and programming titles, the screen display is now cluttered with the lengthy AAC stream parameters) This method seems to work successfully -- FOR NOW. I saved the "found" version of KFI as one of my six preset buttons, and it will launch successfully whenever its assigned preset button is pressed. However, when I attempt to save the found version of KFI as a Favorite, then try to play the Favorite later, the stream will not launch. It also won't launch the found/saved Favorite if I set the Boom's alarm to play it at a set time. This method of searching and saving ClearChannel stations to the six preset buttons also worked for KNEW and KOGO. And similarly, launch attempts consistently crap out using the saved Favorites methodology. In spite of my limited success getting KFI and the other CC stations to finally play, I suspect that with no AAC firmware upgrade for the Boom coming, its days as my player of choice are probably numbered and I'll soon have to upgrade to one of the new AAC-friendly Squeezebox models. I hate the idea of having to do that, though, losing the double speaker stereo power of the Boom in the process -- UNLESS... unless... others on this forum can vouch for the equivalent/near-equivalent sound quality of the newer Squeezebox models that have built-in speakers, all of which appear to be mono. (suggestions welcomed!)
