SECTION 6: INTERNET RADIO
You can listen to Internet radio in one of three ways. First, you can listen to SoundBridge’s built- in set of radio stations located in the “Internet Radio” Library. Your computer does not need to be on - all you need is an active Internet connection on your home network. Second, you can enter a URL of a radio station playlist on the Internet Radio tab of the SoundBridge web page. (This feature is described more in the “Web Page Control” chapter of this user guide.) Be sure to try using Roku Radio Snooper to easily find the urls, test the streams, and set new Internet radio stations as presets. Third, you can use iTunes to tune in to other stations, and then play them back on SoundBridge. (Note: You can use iTunes for radio tuning even if you normally use Windows Media Connect as your music server.)
The easiest way to play Internet Radio on SoundBridge is through the “Internet Radio” Library, where you can access a large and growing number of Internet Radio stations, browseable by Name, Genre, Language, and Location. To navigate to the “Internet Radio” Library, follow these steps:
