After fiddling a while with Slimserver 6.2.1 and with the help of
reading this forum, I finally figured out how to make a radio play list
since favorates doesn't work. Essentially you have to:
1) Tune in a radio station, and then save that Squeezebox playlist as a
single station.
2) Clear that Squeezebox play list, then repeat with tuning in another
radio station, making a new play list for this station, saving this new
Squeezebox playlist, and clearing that Squeezebox playlist again and
again under Squeezebox until each station has its own individual play
list.
3) Then clear the Squeezebox playlist again and add all the individual
station playlists you made in 1) and 2) to Squeezebox. Then, save this
Squeezebox composite playlist as a new playlist of radio stations which
will appear in your playlist file as something like *WWW Radio.m3u*
However, at looking at the resulting file, I discovered that it is
probably easier and far more flexible to construct it in something like
Notepad:
Code:
--------------------
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,KOIT 96.5 SanFrancisco
http://209.237.251.147:80
#EXTINF:-1,SKY.FM Absolutely Smooth Jazz
http://64.236.34.67:80/stream/1010
#EXTINF:-1,SKY.FM Mostly Classical
http://207.200.96.228:80/stream/1030
#EXTINF:-1,Gentle Wave Smooth Easy Listening
http://marconi2.in-con.com:9594/
#EXTINF:-1,The Breeze Easy Favorites (low bitrate)
http://64.202.98.51:8380
#EXTINF:-1,Lovin' an Elevator
http://64.72.118.137:7320
--------------------
*#EXTM3U* is a standard header and just says all of the following is a
playlist
*#EXTINF:* is a standard playlist line header of which there is a
description following ...and... then a second line with that station's
URL location.
*-1,* is a length of the play list item in seconds and the "-1" says
not to report a length such as for streaming media. Please note that
the "*,*" in the "-1," is a required separator.
*SKY.FM Absolutely Smooth Jazz* is a descriptive name that you
type for the playlist item. When you are done with the description,
simply hit "Enter" to go to the next line.
*http://64.236.34.67:80/stream/1010* is the URL of the particular radio
site and can be Shoutcast, Radio365, etc.
Good Luck
