Playback Limitations of Internet Radio Streams

SoundBridge Radio currently supports MP3 and WMA Internet radio stations. RealAudio and AACplus stations are not supported at this time. However, stay tuned for additional formats that may be supported in future software releases.

Unfortunately, there are few standards in Internet radio (especially for MP3 stations), and sometimes a station will do something out of the ordinary that will prevent SoundBridge Radio from being able to play it. See our online FAQ at www.rokulabs.com/support/internetradio.php for more information.
