I believe this is the url I'd been using: http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s2390=16=s:~P The information for the stream says: Bitrate: 192kbps CBR And it was always a nice high quality sounding stream. I also tried a direct url to this: https://www.protonradio.com/ Doesn't work.

Hey folks, I use the iPeng app (ipad and iphone) to control my logitech-based system (Raspberry Pi). Generally it's run smoothly for years. But recently for some reason one single internet radio station, by far the one I listen to most, just refuses to play on the logitech system. I've

I'm very, very new to the world of buying digital music outside of the apple ecosystem. For most of my years since using a server, I've either ripped my CDs or downloaded music, all via the itunes interface. I wanted a dedicated system for streaming (hence the pi/logitech system), and to step
