Hint: You cannot save stations imported from iTunes or Windows Media Connect as Favorites, only Presets. (However, stations saved as Presets will always be displayed at the front of the list of “My Favorites”.)

Memorizing a Radio Playlist

You can also replace some or all of your existing presets with the contents of an Internet radio playlist in iTunes.

1.If you are still in the “Internet Radio” music library, exit it and enter your iTunes library. (See page 16 for changing music libraries.)

2.Create a playlist in iTunes containing your favorite radio stations, as described previously in this chapter.

Hint: Your playlist can contain as many Internet radio stations as you like, but only the first eighteen will be saved to your Presets. You can rearrange them by dragging and dropping to their desired order inside the iTunes playlist, or (after saving them) on the SoundBridge web page (see the “SoundBridge Web Interface” chapter of this document for more information).

3.On the Home Menu of your iTunes music library, select “Settings”, then “Memorize Radio Playlist”.

4.Follow the instructions to navigate to the playlist you want to save, and press OK.

5.You will receive a confirmation of what Internet radio streams were saved (up to the first 30 characters of the name will be saved). You can press Back [�], or navigate to your desired

audio stream and press Select [4] to play it immediately.

If your list contains fewer than eighteen stations, SoundBridge will replace the Presets in the corresponding slots (starting with A1), and the remaining Presets will remain unchanged.

Playing Stations Saved as “My Favorites” or “Presets”

From anywhere in the Internet Radio Library, press the Home Menu []. Choose the “My

Favorites” option. You will see a list of your Internet radio Presets followed by your Favorites.
Navigate to the station you would like to play and press Select [4]. You will have the option to
play it, get station info, or “Remove station from My Favorites”.
You can also just press the Down ▽ arrow on the Now Playing screen of an Internet radio
station. Since there is no Song Queue when listening to Internet radio, this shortcut takes
you directly to My Favorites. If the currently-playing station appears in My Favorites, it will be
marked with the speaker icon [X].
To play your Presets, you can also choose the Play Preset option from the Home Menu of any
music library (not just the Internet Radio Library). Choose the station you would like to play,
then press Select,	6

Playback Limitations of Internet Radio Streams

SoundBridge 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 the SoundBridge from being able to play it. See our online document at http://www.rokulabs.com/support/ internetradio.php for more information.
