Well why didn't you say so?  What's everyone complaining about?  That
works marvelous!  Just set up a Jazz folder and a Classical folder and
I'm good to go!  Sheesh, I feel kinda stoopid.

Yeah, I read about them dropping My Radio Stations in 7.2.1 and does
seem odd they would do so.  Maybe an "ooops" that may come back.

I just use the standard Favorites folder in SC7 anyway.  It's a shame
you cannot take advantage of this as it sure makes station listening a

It did work for me the same as the myradio.opml file did, in that I
could create folders and save stations, but when I navigated away from
the page it would not retain what I had created.  Upgrading to Vista
obviously messed up something.

I can see your use of genre folders would be a plus particularly with
numerous station entries.  The first good use I’ve heard of to somewhat
justify having the seemingly redundant feature in both SC and SN.

Just be advised the option no longer exists in 7.2.1.  I’ve seen
another thread inquiring as to why it was dropped and if there are any
intentions to bring it back but I haven’t seen any official responses.

Apologies to everyone for perhaps straying too far OT.

That's odd.  I use SC7 Favorites for stations all the time, no
problems.  I have dozens of stations in these SC7 Favorites folders,
folders are seperated by GENRE.

I prefer SC7 over SN for just this purpose:  much more control and much
more configurable via SC7 vs SN.

Thanks nordeney. Had a look at that link. That page isn't exactly
designed for use by earthlings, is it?

A question, if you can help.

I'm using Mac OSX 10.5.5. It says at Step 1, for Macintosh, "download
the GUI version". I've no idea what that is. At the linked site,
mplayerhq, the Mac version offered appears to be 1.0rc2, which I
suspect is the one I already have for AlienBBC, and, says the wiki,
won't play AAC plus. What now?

I've never messed with the OPML stuff.  Someone probably has the path
and import solutions for you.  What happens if you create a folder then
manually add a station (not opml)?  Does it keep it then?

Yes, no computer needed for SN.  However SN's functions are quite
limited in regards to Favorites (i.e.  no way to create Folders
etc...).  But the SN guru AndyG is working on this for future updates
to SN.:)

My problem was Squeezecenter wants to default to a folder path I had in
XP prior to recently upgrading to Vista.

I created a new folder with the correct path to the myradio.opml file,
and then enterted a station.  All is well, however if I navigate away
from that page and return, again Squeezecenter gives me the "error
trying to load..." the file from the old pathname and I cannot see my
new folder or station entries, although they are still accesible from
favorites on the player.  Any thoughts on how to change the default
path?

Seperate question.  The favorites of SquezeCenter and SqueezeNetwork
are two seperate with I assume the advantage of having favs in
SqueezeNetwork is in not having to have the computer on, correct?

Is there an easy way to transfer all the SqueezeNetwork entries to the
Squeezecenter favs file?  I see an "import" button there which gives me
hope of not having to manually enter all the data again.

Thanks,

RG

The stream is AAC+.  Have you configured SqueezeCenter to play AAC+
streams.  See following Wiki.


http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/AACplus

It is because they are using AAC+ that the sound quality is so good
with just 64k.

Re: [slim] Jazz Radio audio streams

2008-10-23 Thread vhs

I can't get this to work as expected so some advice please.

What I'm doing is opening the web UI and under Internet Radio opening
Tune In URL. Paste in the URL and the station plays on the SB3 but not
on Softsqueeze (any ideas?).

Then I add to favourites in order to do it again from the SB3 itself
but it just shows the URL, of course. Can this be edited or added to to
show the real name of the station so that I can build a list of several
jazz stations?

Tried reading the manual but after 3 years of using the Squeezebox this
is new territory for me.

I haven't managed to hear the Dinner Jazz show yet so have only heard

I will have a go at Dinner Jazz before condemning it out of hand :) 
Having Sarah Ward presenting it certainly sounds as if it might deliver

I wouldn't get too excited about this if you were imagining that there
was some kind of connection between theJazz and the "reborn" JazzFM. 
This latter sounds just like the broadcast station JazzFM which we used

Try this URL for JazzFM:

http://stream.jazzfm.com:8000/  

This is a 64k AAC+ stream and it sounds VERY GOOD through my
Transporter. IMO this AAC+ stream sounds BETTER than the Sky feed on
0202.  I am not sure what bit rate they are using for Sky 0202.

Hope this URL works for you.

Re: [slim] Jazz Radio audio streams

2008-10-20 Thread whitman

Interesting that a few of the earlier posters on this thread mentioned
TheJazz, now all but defunct. 

However, the UK's JazzFM is recently reborn on digital radio - see
http://www.jazzfm.com/ - but I cannot find a URL to get this playing on
my Squeezebox. The station themselves couldn't seem to care less about
listeners who want to access their broadcasts in this way, as they
haven't bothered to respond to my direct email question or to a note I
sent their 'technology blog'. 

If the new version of JazzFM's 'Dinner Jazz' show is half as good as it
used to be (though sadly no Helen Mayhew presenting) it will be worth
the URL alone. Can any fellow jazz-on-the-radio fans help?

Would you have url's for the RadioCrazy Swing and JazzRadio Berlin
streams?  They don't seem to be working for me anymore?

No it is more to do with GCap trying to fend off an unwanted takeover
aproach from Global Radio.  They are also closing Planet Rock, selling
their stake in Digital One for £1.00 and selling off all the XFM FM
radio stations except for the one in London!!!

Yes, it does look quite interesting, BUT I do not think it will work on
a SqueezeBox or Transporter, unless someone is able to write a plug in
for it.  Quite honestly unless it can be made to work via my
Transporter I can not see me using the service because I do not want to
sit beside my computer listening to music.  That was the whole idea of
getting my Transporter! 

There are already the follows streams operational:
Classic FM Smooth Classics
All your favourite classical music from our daily programme Smooth
Classics at Seven - designed to help you relax, escape and forget it
all.

Classic FM Opera
>From Aida to Zaide - only the very best arias and overtures from the
world of opera.

Classic FM Baroque
The only 100% Baroque channel featuring all the Baroque stars from Arne
to Zipoli.

Classic FM Movies
The very best historic film scores alongside today's movie music
masters.

Classic FM Hall of Fame
A guaranteed mix of the best music from Classic FM's Top 300 chart -
the world's biggest survey of classical music tastes.

Classic FM Music for Studying
Let Classic FM help you achieve more with the perfect soundtrack to
your studies.

That is real bad news - may be linked to the general lack of interest
in DAB in UK.  The rolling jazz stream on myclassicfm.com might be
worth checking out when it comes on

I got the info about TheJazz closing from their web site!!
http://www.the-jazz.co.uk/Article.asp?id=580713&spid=

As you may be aware, theJazz is due to close at the end of March. We
would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support of
theJazz over the past 15 months. We do understand how disappointed you
must be because of the changes. 
We will remain on air until then, and we remain committed to supporting
jazz music and the musicians who make it. And from February 25, Classic
FM will broadcast two hours of jazz between midnight and 2am, seven
days a week. This programme will be available on FM as well as DAB and
will therefore reach a far wider audience.  

Helen Mayhew is to join the team on Classic to present a two-hour,
early hours show from midnight to 2am ecach day from Monday to Friday,
while Tim Lihoreau will host the show in the same slot on Saturday and
Sunday. 

Another of theJazz’s presenters Margherita Taylor is also migrating to
Classic FM to present the new Smooth Classics At Six programme, a
three-hour show of relaxing music to help listeners unwind 

In addition, these programmes will be available to listen to at any
time of the day or night, up to seven days after broadcast via Classic
FM’s 'listen again' service. You will be able to access this service
online at www.classicfm.com/listenagain.

We will also be adding a rolling jazz music stream to myclassicfm.com
which will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  The service
allows users to rate tracks, giving you control over what you hear.

On behalf of the team behind theJazz, we would like to thank listeners
for all their good wishes and the warm, kind words in support of the
station. We all very touched that you have enjoyed what you have heard
and that the station has made a difference to your lives.

I'm still getting TheJazz OK. Where did you get the info that it was
closing?

WBGO's mp3 stream is:

Our (yes, I work there) realmedia stream (which I think sounds a bit
better) is:

I do know that KCSM is available from the "Staff Picks" section of the
Internet Radio menu and I thought that WBGO was also - can't check
right now.

BTW, terrible news about theJazz - this was a brave and serious attempt
to build a proper jazz radio station in the UK, and it is a shame that
it is deemed by its owners to be unviable.
