A few suggestions ... SORT ORDER Sorting left to right when the radio station name is prefixed by its frequency might work well for people in the listening area who know the frequency, but for others or even for locals with RDS radios (I guess primarily Europe) they probably rarely see or hear the frequency because the station name is presented ... plus (UK) national stations are diferent frequencies in different parts of the country.
SEARCH There are a lot of stations - and Browsing through 100+ in a Genre when trying to find a particular one (at the Squeezebox) is a bit of a pain (especially if you don't know the frequency). PROGRAMME NEXT ON... This might break the business model for RadioTime - but anyway here is the thought. If I occasionally try to find a particular US show - I can put it in My Radio and then (I presume) it will appear playable in the menu if I happen to browse (at Slimserver or Web) if it is on somewhere that RadioTime knows about (in the same way that PublicRadioFan web site can show when a programme is on somewhere). However, if it could show when it is next on - then I may well come back and listen then. e.g. Car Talk -> next on live in X hours/minutes (by saying in X hours/minutes you get around timezone issues) This might mean that I would not buy the RadioTime Recorder - hence my comment about the business model. On the other hand it might mean that users might get to like a show more and want to listen even more and would rather have the convenience of it being auto-recorded rather than having to remember to come back at the right time. -(Independent of SB or RadioTime, recording streaming programmes based on schedule or EPG entries is possible for free anyway - but if RadioTime has a simple, foolproof and integrated system then maybe sales will flow)- -- Paul Webster Paul Webster http://www.lastfm.com/user/BondJamesBond ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Webster's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=105 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26682 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
