Hi radio fans, We're pleased to announce a few enhancements to the RadioTime service for the SqueezeBox. After reviewing a lot of great feedback from the community, we decided to implement the following:
"Not available" favorites display. The most common complaint we heard was missing favorites from RadioTime.com in the SB navigation. The reason is that we try to filter anything that can't be played on the device, mainly stations that stream only in RealMedia format. Now we show those items with appropriate messaging to avoid confusion. All Option for thin categories. Africa has a lot of countries but only a few stations in each. Now you can browse the entire list or drill down. Smarter Titles. Location browsing items are sorted by frequency then name and include the main genre. When browsing a genre items are sorted by name and also display the location. Locations are smarter for the context. Station Source. We now let listeners choose from among all streams available for a station. This gives you flexibility to upgrade/downgrade quality to optimize your experience. Show Source. Listening to shows, not just stations, is a popular feature. By default we pick one that is live, reliable, and local when possible. Now you have an option to change to a different station. Smarter Filtering. We made it better by hiding empty categories, hiding terrestrial repeaters, and better stream filtering. Better Streams! We've recently finished a major project to dramatically improve the quality of our streams with our quality of service analytics from volume web listening and desktop recording scoring. As always, we appreciate your comments, questions, and concerns. Our service isn't perfect, though we're working hard to get it there. Let us know how we can make it better.
