Trevarthan: My method is the one that I believe was touched on somewhere on the Canola web site, but Im not certain. Anyway, I begin by the standard way of going into the CanolaConfig web site (shortcut in Extras) and click on the Plugins button. I then tap (with stylus) the IRadio designation. The easist thing to do then, rather than laboriously typing each separate URL into the box, is to go online to SHOUTcast, choose an internet radio site of your choosing (there are hundreds, if not thousands), click on the "tune in" button, which brings up a menu from which you can choose "Copy Link Location." Do this, then go back to Canola and paste the URL you've just copied. You then have to designate a "Category" in another box. I initially had difficulty with this step (which I reported -- complained about! -- elsewhere in this forum) but then simply wrote IRadio as the category, and that worked. I will experiment further with this category matter. I will try classical, jazz, news, etc.

I am looking forward to trying out later today your updated version of Kagu, to see if it'll now locate and play individual mp3 songs which are on my memory cards, but were not burned by me as integral albums. Kagu has so far failed to identify these, but the Media Player does. Kagu, of course, does play my music which I burned as complete albums. (I cannot yet get Canola to play any of my mp3 music.) Thaks for you excellent work -- and achievement. Regards, Jim

Sachin007: I inend shortly to purchase Bluetooth earphones, and may well afterwards take you up on your kind, and interesting, offer.
