Hi Ibrahim -

A couple of questions then please?

Is it best to use book marks for radio stations, or presets? 

Is there a quick way to stop a station playing? 

So far the streams I have heard are only mono, is that the case for all Tune-in 
stations? Oh, and I was prompted to install Windows Media Player at one point, 
why? as the station was playing anyway.

Re Audible: Is the App for the Touch only required if I want to download from 
my library strait to my Touch?

Thanks -

Andy

  Hi Andy.

  You don't need to create an account with tune in radio, I use it all the time 
and I think its the best internet radio player on the app store.  Let me know 
if you need any tips, I'm happy to oblige.  Also, re Audible it will just 
depend on your listening preference as to which quality you'll go for.

  All the best, Ibrahim.

    Hi Carol - Yes, lots to get to grips with, not fully sorted yet with 
Audible as I'm still not quite clear regarding enhanced format, have instead 
just bought Tune-in radio, and have been trying to grab a few radio stations. 
I'm wondering if it's necessary to create an account, as they seem to be asking 
for, when I search and listen to a radio station. I thought I'd book marked 
Talk Sport, but having then listened to radio Devon for a few minutes, found I 
couldn't shut them up, and when I powered off and on again, opened Tune-in, 
flipping radio Devon started up again, and Talk Sport had gone from book marks. 
Perhaps I'm meant to create a preset for them, just not that far with it yet.

    Anyway, enough for this day -

    Andy

      Andy,

      After writing to you last the other day, I had wondered if this was the 
problem but decided we'd had so many exchanges that I was best to leave you to 
rest for the night and then I didn't get back to the computer.

      I'm delighted you've sorted it now.

      There's a lot to learn, but already you've overtaken me as I haven't used 
Audible at all.  <Smiles>
