Then why is it an App - should be the default Internet Radio menu if it's better. Either way, one or the other, not both! ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Internet Radio: stations categories
Thanks, Toby But my question was meant to be more general: how does Squeezebox manage / update / maintain the directory of radio stations? I assume it is fed at present from one central server with 'manual' input. I think the radio is a fascinating implementation of networking techniques for a very consumer-oriented product - but its success depends on delivering up-to-date information content consistently.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Internet Radio: stations categories
Radiotime provides the comprehensive directory of stations and this is access through Local and World. Use Search to find a station rather than scrolling. The Apps are intended to provide a selection of most popular networks. stations - not every station. It is an attempt to keep menus manageable. You can always add your own station on Favorites and can also order them as you like. How stations are sorted is point of discussion - for example should BBC station be sorted alpha numerically as follows 1Xtra 5Live 6 Music BBC 7 Radio 1 Radio 2 Radio 3 Radio 4 -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72319 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

You can always add your own station on Favorites and can also order them as you like. This is the problem - there's too many different places to go to find a station. Internet Radio contains some, My Apps contains others, when you've found them from App Guide, whilst manually entered stations are stored in Favorites or Playlists. All of these are completely different menu areas. Plugins for specific radio providers also create additional menus, usually within Extras or Music Services, that has to be manually added to Home menu now. In addition, Radio Time can also be installed as an App. Haven't done so myself, but I wonder if the menus within that are the same as within Internet Radio. ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
