Re: [slim] If I migrate from MSB to ickStream, how do I transfer my Favourites?
Well I have now updated to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 but the problem with the prompt from System Preferences asking me to update LMS remains - i.e. I choose to update, nothing happens and I get the reminder pop up again later. Any more ideas please?

[slim] If I migrate from MSB to ickStream, how do I transfer my Favourites?
Hi all. This is a question I have been wondering about for a while in case MSB goes off-line permanently. The new ickStream alternative is looking very attractive. Now, I have several hundred streams saved in my Favourites page on MSB, and I see that these can be saved as an OPML file. However, is there an easy way of dragging and dropping this file into the equivalent page in ickStream? The thought of manually adding the streams one by one is something that fills me with a minor sense of dread. If there is a quick way of porting them over, then I think I will take the plunge. So, what can others suggest?

Re: [slim] If I migrate from MSB to ickStream, how do I transfer my Favourites?
What kind of favorites are we talking about ?
Playable internet radio station/pod cast urls ?
Links to albums on music on demand services ?
Something else ?
We are working on a favorites service but currently the only kind of
favorites that are available in the open beta are the favorites you
setup in each music on demand service. So as an example, if you setup a
favorite in the official TIDAL app these will also automatically appear
in the ickStream menu.
It would probably be possible to create some kind of migration script
that can handle parts of the favorites automatically but we haven't
looked at this in detail yet.
