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 librar y, 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 describe d 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 Interf ace” chapter of this document
for more information).
3. On the Home Menu of your iTunes music library, select “Se ttings”, 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 [�], o r 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 Pres ets in the
corresponding slots (starting with A1), and the remaining Presets will remain unch anged.
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 shor tcut 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,
Playback Limitations of internet Radio Streams
SoundBridge currently supports MP3 and WMA Internet radio stati ons. 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 st ations), and
sometimes a station will do something out of the ordinary that will preve nt the SoundBridge
from being able to play it. See our online document at http: //www.rokulabs.com/supp ort/
internetradio.php for more information.
