Unfortunetly not, and also, bookport don't support aac plus streams, wich is the most commin format these days. That caused me to stop using such player for streaming as all the stations I want to listen to are in that format now. My provider cant supply me with another compatible format. I suggested that total recorder also add that format to their streaming list. But with the new stream, chances that it will support that format are stronger, since it already support m4a format, bookport does not. And I doubt it ever will.
