Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but I haven't been able to find much info on setting up the internet radio on the N900 (using Media Player).
If the radio station uses a PLS file to target its stream, can I add the link to that PLS as the radio bookmark, or do I need to copy the actual stream address? That is, do I create the bookmark with the address ending in ".pls" or do I instead use the IP address that is targeted by the PLS file.
The reason I ask is that I've found one station so far that I want to add that has within the PLS file 3 separate addresses. It looks like this:

[playlist]
numberofentries=3
File1=http://93.89.82.244:8072
Title1=(#1 - 59/1200) NME Radio
Length1=-1
File2=http://78.129.196.139:8048
Title2=(#2 - 52/1000) NME Radio
Length2=-1
File3=http://94.23.15.54:8048
Title3=(#3 - 678/1000) NME Radio
Length3=-1
Version=2
--------

So, do I create a single bookmark using the direct link to the PLS, or can I create the bookmark using just one of the addresses shown above, or do I need to create 3 separate bookmarks?

*OR* As an alternative, should I instead use another app altogether, and not Media Player?

Thanks!

Not sure, but dont think, that you can add .pls file to media player.
The current location of all radio stations are in /home/user/.mafw.db and you can't edit it manually.

I think you have to add one link at a time of the streaming url.
BTW, what is the full url of the station ?

OK...
I played around a little. The 3 streams all play the same thing. I'm guessing that it's a primary stream and then a couple of mirrors as supplements for crowded streams. I just added one as a bookmark and it works fine.

Can someone help me as well please, by following this thread I managed to get the link below but it's not working, it says media format not supported, is there anything I can do (I tried alternative links but none of them work). I got the link by looking at the source for this site:http://mediaweb.musicradio.com/playe...t.asp?s=21&e=0.

Appreciate any help.
