I've used a weather radio since 8th grade most of those years from my ham radio, but I just found a site that streams weather radio stations So I just downloaded the .m3u file saved it on my icon and now just run it from the file explorer and now I can get weather info whenever I have a connection. here's the link if more of you want to do it. We should build a collection of m3u files to use on the icon http://www.roanokevalleyweather.com/noaawxradio/noaawxradio.php#truestreamin gsites Sandy Licht wrote:I know about VOIP. I use Vonage.

For this reason, it doesn'twork with someprograms such as Skype. We could have someone that knows the Icon very, very well try it out. If this was incorporated into the Icon/Braille+, they would have to get read of the music player that already exists, and that would require a lot of development, and a lot of confusion for new users.This would be a very cool thing to have, though.
