AACplus stations may use the same extensions as MP3 stations, but will not be able to be played. Usually, an Internet Radio station’s web site will say which format is being used. Stay tuned for additional format support in future software updates.

You may wish to use fewer than the 18 available Preset slots. If you want to leave a slot empty, ensure that the menu below the “Name” label reads “URL”, and then ensure that both the name and location boxes are empty. When you save changes, the Preset will be marked as empty.

When you are finished editing your presets, click on the “Update Presets” button at the bottom of the page.

Hint: If for some reason you insert a URL that is too long to fit inside the text field (longer than 250 characters), SoundBridge will automatically revert to the previous URL that was in your list before.

Please see the “Internet Radio” section for information about accessing and playing your stored stations from your presets.
