Yeah, I love free stuff as much as anyone. I don't use any paid service myself. But I also understand these services need to generate revenue to keep the streams going. So I'm ok with the limitations, ads, hickups, etc... Another good free alternative is the ShoutCast service/app. You won't get station or artist art, often not even song/artist metadata. But ShoutCast has like 30,000+ stations and is quite reliable. I have my ShoutCast set to only the higher bitrate streams (mine is set to 192k) by using ShoutCasts Bitrate Limit setting. Ex: ShoutCast > Genres > Classical > All Stations has hundreds of stations. If you set the Bitrate Limit to say 192k (like mine) you have probably a couple dozen stations. You also have the option of selecting Sub-Genres like Baroque, Chamber, Romantic, Opera, Piano, etc... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104814 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
