I'm considering purchasing a Squeezebox. One important thing for me is internet radio. My goal is to create an easily accessible list of favorite stations. I have been trying SlimServer with the SoftSqueeze player. I'm only trying to use stations that have MP3 streams -- I'm not worried about WMA, AAC etc. at this point.
Ideally I should be able to add the URL that stations post which point to a .PLS or .M3U playlist, which in turn contain a list of the actual URLs for the MP3 streams. I don't want to put the actual URLs of the steams into the Squeezebox playlist because those URLs change frequently. When I add the .PLS/.M3U addresses to the Favorites list I seem to get inconsistent results. Sometimes this allows me to tune to the station, sometimes not. Can anyone recommend the best way to accomplish what I've described? I'm also interested in how the server/Squeezebox handle connection errors. For example, if a steam at a given URL in the station's .PLS file isn't working, will the player attempt to connect to the next URL in the .PLS?
