radio playlist
« on: January 16, 2004, 05:40:40 am »
I havent used the radio feature media jukebox in awhile now. but when i try to use it now i see there is not a playlist in the tree anymore ? when i try and get live365,to open a station i get a message there is not a license to play this file ? so it dont begin to stream anymore even if i click save to disk it still will not open it.so how can i play live365 files without having to type in all that info to add a new station.tell me there is a way.

This sounds like a wma format issue. Opened up a mp3 stream just fine via the Live365 page (well...after a couple re-directs and numerous clicks). The problem is that it doesn't expose the pls url anywhere that I can see (short of saving it). The Web Media part of MC is now under Media Library in the tree when the "All Media" mode is selected. Probably the easiest way to listen to their stations is to install the suggested Live365 player.

Actually (now that I understand how 365 works and after joining up), it works extremely well with MC. You can add any of the 365 stations to any playlist (go to Playing Now, right click on the stream, Send To <your playlist>). Forget about MC's Web Media (it is meant for stations on it's list...not 3rd party ones like 365 or from DigitallyImported). Though it does not show the specific currently playing track in MC, 365 displays said by using a small browser window (TPW). Like I said earlier, the mp3 streaming stations work very well...so forget about wma. What a station actually streams is hard to determine without connecting...though.

edit: Be aware...these are radio stations with ads (unless you subscribe). Little ad pop-ups do pop (even through FireBird...but they may not if Track Playing Window is closed). Huge variety none-the-less.

edit2: Appears to be ad free if the TPW is closed
