Configuring My Added Stations

1. If you wish to listen to a radio station which is not currently held in

the database

at http://www.wifiradio-frontier.com it is possible to

add the details yourself. You will need to obtain the internet address

(URL) for the audio stream for the station that you wish to add. This

may be information provided by the radio station itself, via its web site,

or perhaps passed to you from another listener.

Note: The URL for the audio stream will generally not be the URL for

the web page from which you listen to the station on your PC.

2. Use the 'My added stations' link in the 'My account' area on the web

site. This allows you to add details of new stations or to modify those

already added. You can provide a name for the radio station which

will be shown on your radio. You must also provide the web address,

location and format details.

3. Once you have Internet radio stations available in your My Added

Stations list, you may play these stations from your radio. These

stations will be available on your radio from the Internet radio menu

item 'My Added Stations'.

4. It is possible to add the web addresses for audio streams which may

not be playable by your radio. If you attempt to play such a stream,

your radio will normally display an error message of some kind.

The

Roberts iStream can only play MP3, WMA, FLAC, AAC and Real Audio

streams.

5. To look at, modify or delete your added stations list on the web site, use

the link 'My added stations' in the 'My account' area. To delete an added

radio station, click on the icon with a heart and minus symbol.

to search among the many radio stations that are available by location,

genre, or language. You may also choose from new or popular

stations.

computer screen, they are shown with a 'Play' icon and an 'Add to

favourites' icon (the plus symbol and heart). Clicking on the 'Play' icon

will allow you to hear the radio station via your computer. Clicking on

the 'Add to favourites' icon will cause the radio station to be added to

the list accessible via your radio.

3. To help you organise your favourites, and since you may have a great

many after a while, the web site will allow you to specify the name for

a category or group under which the radio station will be listed on your

radio. Suitable names might be 'Rock', 'Smooth', 'Mum's stations', and

so on. When ever you add another radio station to your favourites you

can either add it to an existing category or create a new one.

4. Once you have Internet radio stations available in your My Favourite

Stations list, you may play these stations from your radio. These

stations will be available on your radio from the Internet radio menu

item 'My Favourites'.

5. To look at, modify or delete your favourite stations lists on the web

site, use the link 'My favourites' in the 'My account' area. To delete

a favourite radio station, click on the icon with a heart and minus
