Internet Radio or Podcasts?
-
Are there any plans to add support for Internet radio feeds or Podcasts to Strawberry?
In other players, you can add URL links for radio stations, which I find useful. I'm not asking for a radio search feature, but perhaps the option to add links can help.
With podcasts, you might need to add a subscription service, but this can be another worthwhile feature. -

@jonas That helps, thanks.
I can't see a way to give a name to the stations, rather than using the somewhat unwieldy long name it provides, but I have added a few stations to a playlist folder called 'Radio'. -
Resurrecting an old thread, I would also like to rename stations, so I don't have to remember that, for example, "https://ais-sa3.cdnstream1.com/2440_128.aac" is actually my local KOPB stream. Is this possible?

@depmco Not intuitive, but if I gather streams into a playlist -- then "favorite" that playlist (double click star) -- close the playlist -- and reopen from the list of favorites in the Playlists Sidebar -- Then, and only then, can I right click on a stream and "Edit tag 'Title' ". In my Strawberry, the text I type is annoyingly superimposed in the edit field, but it does work.
Prior to discovering this, I went through a tedious process of creating a playlist of streams, saving it and then editing all the titles of the saved playlist in a text editor. The method above seemed easier to explain.
Perhaps Jonas does not want to introduce "feature creep" in Strawberry, but the stream function is pretty spartan and could use a little love, IMHO.

@silver-sun I somehow missed this response. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Just a suggestion if you want something relatively simple for radio streams. PLS playlist file:Create following in text editor (i.e. Notepad), save with .pls extension (i.e. "Radio.pls).
[playlist]
numberofentries=2
File1=Stream URL
Title1=Whatever title you want
File2=Stream URL
Title2=Whatever title you want
and so on...If you want them in some specific order and add new ones later you just increment numbers.
