#1: I did not know this one ... Apple rules are convoluted, that I know ;) #2: I'll try ickStream soon. I understand - I was thinking about it from a "single song" point of view in which case I was expecting, like for other radio stream, that LMS will do the play/pause/stop work as long as you provided the audio stream + icy-metadata, but it's true that a playlist is probably much more complicated as, in that case, iPeng would have to locally build & handle the whole list LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2.
