Swings & Roundabouts - It is more likely that Tune-in URLs will always work - stations can change format, CDN and then your local URL will have to be manually updated. IIRC by manually editing the favorites OPML you can manually add a icon to be didsplayed in favorites list . This icon may be displayed when station is playing but there are circumstances where it won't Business model is probably mixed. Charge fees to broadcasters and also get a cut of ad revenue for insertion of ads in pre-roll and other places based on number/type of listeners (i.e. good stats). Broadcaster gets access to a wider audience, added metadata and possibly can pay extra to become "featured" (i.e. first results of a search) or other promotion. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108457 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
