Hi Jackie,
The ability to download books would be another nice addition, something else
for the wish list!
Pele and Steve, yes indeed the local BBC stations are available on other
devices, and will show up on a search of the ootunes web site database, but,
in the case of BBC Radio Ulster, the broadcast stream is in the WMA format,
which the VRS cannot play, so when you search for it, you won't get a
result. If you are unable to find a station local to you on the VRS, google
the stream format, and if it is anything, other than WMA, then you can look
for it on the ootunes site, and if it is not there, the station request form
is easy to negotiate.
I'm also intending to contact Humanware again tomorrow, just to be nosey,
*smile*.
For anyone interested, David Russell's Stream list is still going, and
despite google groups trying to trick me, with David's help, I got signed
up. The correct details are below.

Jim.

Hi Jim
You make some great points, all of which I would include on my wish list.
I don't listen to that many podcasts either, I simply haven't the time. But
I know it is a feature many would like, and if they have made it possible to
stream Internet radio, then podcasts shouldn't be difficult.
I must say that the Sonata database is great in that respect, and if there
isn't a station or podcast feed on it you want, Luke or David make sure it
is added.
The VRS will be even more interesting when we can download books.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie,
I've been trying to see if I've missed something as well, because I would
have thought, surely you must be able to arrange the stations in an order
that suits you, but it seems not! I was wondering about the Companion
software, as I read on the Humanware site, via the F A Q, that if you used
the software that you would be able to search for stations eccetra. So I
downloaded the software, and found nothing to help with the radio. Perhaps
we should compile a wee wish list for future implementation through upcoming
updates. If anyone has anything they would like to see added, bring your
thoughts forth.
1. Addition of WMA streaming capabilities.
2. Addition of station manipulation in the favourites.
3. Ability to download podcasts.
I'm not much into podcasts myself, so I'm going by your say so, *smile*,
unless of course, someone knows different, then speak up.
I know there is a VRS list for America, does anyone happen to know if we
have one this side of the pond?
Regards.
Jim.

Hi Jim
We played around with OoTunes a little last night on the VRS. I could not
work out a way of putting my Favourites in order, so if this is possible,
perhaps someone could enlighten us?
Personally, I prefer TuneIn Radio for searching stations, I wish HumanWare
had used this instead of OoTunes, but it is a minor thought. I really like
the Internet service on the product, it is pretty quick. There doesn't
appear to be a way of downloading podcasts yet either, and I wonder why such
a popular feature was not included in the update, always assuming I have
missed it?
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Guys,
I spoke with Humanware today, about why some stations that are already on
the ootunes database, are not accessible on the Victor Reader Stream. The
answer I was given was, some radio streams are done in wma format, and the
VRS cannot play these, it will only play streams in mp3, or aac formats. If
you are after a particular station, that does not appear in the ootunes
database, if you google to find out the type of media stream that it is
broadcasting in, you will be able to determine if the VRS will even be able
to receive it, before you ask for it to be added to the database..
Hope this clarifies things a little.
Regards.
Jim.

I was able to find BBC radio Scotland on the ootunes website and on the
ootunes app on my iphone but not on ootunes on the stream. I have also been
unable to find some local radio stations.
There is an option to import stations from an ootunes file but I haven't
worked out how to do this yet.

Hi David
I think we might have to contact OoTunes and ask for the stations to be
added. They are not there at the moment.
I am going to try contacting them later today.
