current Beta including Shoutcast, Live365, RadioIO and the Live Music Archive.
Future plans to include the addition of custom urls

Alarm Clock, with choice of radio station or included 'natural sounds'

That will be dictated by the firmware.

The goal is to support as many formats as is possible.  It licensing issues
