I want to add a station to the favorites list, so I can just click and listen, and not have to wait for the browser to open, then click on listen.

Is this possible?

[urlwolf]

I'd like to know that too.

Kind ov...


Maybe there is a better way, but I put the Radio Station I want into a playlist and then add the playlist to favorites. You still need to click on something to get it to play, but it avoids the web loading issues.

[JustinChase]

Better, but still not a 'one-click' solution.

any chance of seeing this in the future?

I just import the stream into my library and file it under a genre called Radio.  It's not as quick as a one-click solution but, to me, fits more within the scheme of how MC works.

A "play when selected" option in the organize Favorites window would seem to work (by option I mean a property that could be set with a checkbox). The favorites appear to work as a quick way to navigate to a particular object (it's off the Navigation menu). Currently, it is up to the user what they want to do with it from there, but I would think 9 times out of 10 you'd want to either view or play the selected object.

Even a right-click option would work for me

Right-click to bring up menu, select to play, listen, happy guy.

[Quisp]

Yes, but then you'd be back to the two clicks  

[JustinChase]

Yes, good point.  2 clicks - bad.

Maybe J River can make an Osmosis setting for me.  I just thnk about what I want to hear or do or see, and MC just does it, quickly and effeciently.  That'd be worth a couple bucks, right?

if your into this streaming radio bit and you use www.shoutcast.com

there must be a way to get the currently playing information (yes\no)

I am just wondering how a media player would know the song name has changed.

This has been asked for many times, but for some reason hasn't been added. Don't know why; seems pretty straightforward.

[JustinChase]

Yes, it does show the artist and track i the upper info bar/window.  I wish it would transfer to the playing now plugin, so I could rate the song as it is streaming.  this would save me some work in the future.

i'm looking for a way to one-click select a favorite radio station stream.  Mainly so I can not view the tree bar and action window. (by double clicking the seperator line/drag bar)  If I could just click to play whatever's in favorites, whether it's a radio station, or playlist,, or smartlist, etc.
