SECTION 6: INTERNET RADIO

You can listen to Internet radio in one of two 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.)

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:

1.Press Home Menu []. Navigate down to ”Change Library or Configuration” and press Select [].

2.Your available music libraries will be displayed, including the one named “Internet Radio.” Select that library and you will see a list of Internet radio stations. These are your Presets, and they are pre-loaded when your SoundBridge is first set up. See below for more information on how to edit these Presets.

3.Scroll to the station you want to play and press Play. (Alternatively, you can press Select

[] and choose “Get Station Info” to view the genre/format of the station, its language and location.)

When the station is playing, the “Now Playing” screen looks similar to this:

The song and artist information is provided by each Internet radio station. Therefore, it may not be available for every Internet radio station, or it may look slightly different.

Browsing Internet Radio Stations

You can browse SoundBridge’s built-in stations by Name, Genre, Language or Location. From anywhere in the Internet Radio Library, press Home Menu []. You will see the following options:

My Favorites

Browse

Play Preset

Show Now Playing

Select “Browse” and choose the method of browsing that you prefer:

Browse Names

Browse Genres

Browse Locations (by country of origin)

Browse Languages

Hint: You can “Fast Browse” a list of results by pressing the Left/Right [◁ ▷] arrows on your remote; your results will skip to the next letter of the alphabet.

Choose your desired browse option and press Select. Scroll down to the station you would like to hear and press Play (or Select twice) to begin playback.

Customizing Favorites and Presets for Internet Radio 6

There are two ways to save Internet radio stations for easy playback.

The first way has already been discussed, and that is to save the station as a Preset. Whether the station was found by browsing SoundBridge’s built-in Internet Radio Library, by playing it from music server on your computer, or by entering it manually on the web page, it can be stored in a Preset slot and played back easily via the “Play Preset” command.

The second way is to mark a station from the built-in Internet Radio Library as a favorite. When a station is marked as a favorite, it appears in the “My Favorites” list in the Internet Radio library, but does not use up one of the 18 Preset slots.

Note: If a station is saved as a Preset, then it is assumed to also be a “favorite”, and will always appear at the front of the “My Favorites” list.

There are several important differences between Presets and My Favorites:

ËPresets are accessible from any Library, while My Favorites only appear in the Internet Radio Library.
