The Radio plugin is an interface to the Tune-in service which is a commercial service and not something run by Logitech. It is fully maintained but Tune-in may be losing out to other directory sites. The content on a internet directory is driven by commercial reason(i.e. ad revenues) and some degree of exclusivity (i.e.some stations may only appear on one directory/aggregator site). For French station why not add the 3rd party RadioFrance plugin. Another alternative, you could install the 3rd party Radio.net plugin and then do a select country "France" or whatever Francophone country (e.g. Algeria) . If you want to choose at random - change Radio.net settings to French and the offered selection has a slightly more French mix. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116094 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
