How do I use streaming audio? - Advanced users!

Pocket Tunes natively supports MP3 streaming audio from www.shoutcast.com or www.treobits.com or www.di.fm.

Shoutcast streams contain metadata that will show the song title when playing in Pocket Tunes.

Icecast streams will play, but do not contain metadata, so song titles will not display.

ADVANCED

Streaming audio playlist links must be .pls or .m3u format.

You can manually enter http URL's in the "Choose Songs" (Actions menu/Open) Shoutcast file section.

Formats supported are:

Raw MP3 - similar to ShoutCast streams, but do not contain the imbedded metadata to display song titles. Websites that offer raw MP3 streams are supported.

Static MP3 - found on websites with a link to a specific MP3 file. Click the link or enter the URL manually in the "Choose Songs" (Actions menu/Open) Shoutcast file section.

Ogg streams - supported but only if the link ends in .ogg. Access these streams with the same method as Static MP3 links.
