      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.

                    +1 on this... i used a bunch of streams in clementine and adding them was a no brainer... now i cant add them without jumping through hops. The streams itself work just fine when added to a playlist, so why not have a simple feature to have them in the "Radio" selection too?

                      I registered to +1 this idea. I have no interest in the random radio stations that appear under Radios. It’s a complete waste. I already know the stations I want to listen to. Yes, I can (& have) added them to a playlist, but it seems bizarre to have a shortcut to this section that is useless to me while playlists aren’t as convenient or as discoverable.

                        I need this feature, with clementine is possible to add your own radio streams with url on Internet section on Strawberry maybe Radio Section, i think it's easy and not related to playlist, because if I need to delete actual playlist? The stream dissapears.

                          For me, this feature would be completely useless.

                            @totti_777 I just added my Radio to Strawberry... previously, I loaded the contents of the 'Radio' tab and ended up with one or two I liked, but couldn't work out how to 'add radio'.

                            So then - as with PyRadio which I usually use - I mostly added those by copying the URL from radio-browser.

                            You can do the same job with an m3u playlist:

                            #EXTM3U
                            #EXTINF:0,🗫 BBC  - Radio 4 Extra
                            http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/sbr_low/ak/bbc_radio_four_extra.m3u8
                            #EXTINF:0,🎵 101 - Smooth Jazz
                            http://jking.cdnstream1.com/b22139_128mp3
                            

                            I save playlists separate from my media players after having lost some in the past - so this works well (and Strawberry is good at getting Lyrics for many stations) so that I removed my alternative GUI radio player.
