yep, for example, with foobar2000 (a software player), I can simply add the URL of a radio station--if it exists and I can find it--and play without any intermediate provider needed. But I can't play things like Pandora, or certain radio stations that don't provide URLs to link to but do provide bundling with internet radio support (like some of the Squeezebox sources). Even with Squeezebox, I tend to use the direct URL address of a radio station in my favorites if I have it. -- garym ------------------------------------------------------------------------ garym's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17325 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=76875 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
