Hi again Peter,
I think I am being particularly thick on this one but, even with your
supplied URL, I am not getting a success.
Can I check if you are using the "New web radio" feature on the File menu of
the transfer software or are you embedding the URL manually into an M3U or
PLS file? I was trying to use the "New web radio" feature and it all looked
pretty obvious but then just doesn't connect at the critical moment.
If it is the latter, are you just including the URL you mention or do you
have to have other parameters specified?
Thanks in advance.
Jamie

Hi Jamie and All,
I've also been looking for a comprehensive list of station URL's, but
meanwhile, a couple of tips re Internet Radio:
When you do find a link to a stream you want to use on a website, you
can usually right-click it, then choose "save target as", and the
resulting file should be either a .M3U, PLS or ASX file which you can
rename if you wish and then transfer across to the Pocket.
Also, I particularly wanted to be able to stream BBC national
stations, and the BBC player doesn't work this way, but I did find
ASX files that work on the Pocket, so for example, here is the URL for Radio
4:
http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4.asx
and for other stations, replace r4 with r3, r7 and so-on.
I'm loving this upgrade so far, so many thanks to Plextor.
Best,
Peter
