I am not sure what the touch screen says... Sorry. But if you play a
Sky.fm station and go to "more information" and see if your bitrate is
256KPSes then you are getting the premium feed. I do not use the touch
screen so I do not know if it says "premium" or not. I use mainly ipeng
as a controller
I do have sky fm on the touch but it does'nt mention about it being
"premium"...should it state "premium on touch screen? It does state
"premium" on winamp player only. Thanks. AL.

I believe that since the Swueezeboxes are dedicated players forSky.fm,
it is not necessary to manually copy and paste stations. All that is
necessary is to register with Sky.fm, choose the 192kps selection. Then
install the Sky.fm app from the App Gallery at mysqueezebox.com by
entering your usern
