Request for Internet Radio streams...

That's good to know, but finding the URL is difficult. My favorite radio stations now all use Flash player thingies that hide the URL and the stations are not on the lists I have found on the internet.

This is a player not a server issue, but just to give an example of how it is convenient for me: The Simaudio MiND app includes a music controller than plays whatever the server provides (especially good now that Simon has fixed the ohNet bugs that interfered with the MiND app ) and an internet radio feature. I noticed that the app puts the internet radio station you are listening to into a playlist, which I thought a bit strange but from Simon's comment I now understand why. During the summer one of my favorite shows is knocked out of the schedule on the main channel but is still carried on the HD2 stream. So I fire up the MiND and listen to my own music files until 8:00, then easily switch over to the HD2 stream to get my program. Very nice since my FM tuner is old and not HDs-capable!
