Hi Carol and list,
I didn't have success with shoutcast at all. I wouldn't be surprised if
one had to download software in order for their site to work properly.
Bill Sparks dot org is an excellent site! Once you go into his site, you
will see radio lookup. You then can listen through the categories
listed. Quite often I simply type the first letter of what I am looking
for and I can get right to where I need to go. I sometimes do a find
command and that also takes me where I need to go on the page. If I need
to sneak up on something, I use spacebar with either dot two or dot
five. Once I'm on what I'm looking for I pressed enter. This usually
takes me where I need to go.

Hi Sarah,
I took a look at
www.shoutcast.com
and must say that I think Bill Sparks' pages are easier. I couldn't
actually find my stations by searching and could only look through the
pages. (Who wants to look through over 400?) Maybe there are a few
tricks I still have to learn! What is your experience with it?
I've worked more with the
www.billsparks.org
site now and, because I found a link directly for the United Kingdom's
list at the bottom of the Home Page, I was then able to look through and
save favourites. However, I still wasn't able to access the "country"
combo box further up the page. The mPower just read out a list of the
countries and no "clicking" anywhere appeared to achieve my aim. I
couldn't "enter" on that combo box either.
If anyone has had more success with this then please tell me the secret
because I'm sure it will crop up in future WEB pages.
Thanks.

Hi Carol,
Would you mind trying
www.shoutcast.com
with the BN mPower? I'm curious to see if and how this will work.
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi all,
Today I was trying to get together a collection of radio stations (as
suggested by Jonathan in his demo) and went to
www.billsparks.org
to try to do this. I found this easy to do with the PC but got rather
stuck with the mPower. I could not find the combo box to select United
Kingdom so therefore tried including the URL to show the UK stations.
Unfortunately, all my tries were in vain and I still haven't got that
list up and running.
Can anyone please help with the use of that particular page using the BN
and/or give any other useful sites for looking up these radio stations?
Thanks!
