Custom URL for radio station?

radio which streams out of Toronto.
On the web I can listen via: http://cfrb.player.amri.ca/
But that doesn't seem to work in the rcainfiniteradio.com portal.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers

At one point it was listed under "local" stations, as Newstalk 1010
Toronto Canada. Now it doesn't show up in the list.
Thanks

I think Vtuner has given up trying to keep up with station listings,
they don't list it but Reciva does.
Try this: http://64.34.159.32:8000/cfrb-mp3

it, copy and paste and it should look like this, 64.34.159.32:8000/
cfrb-mp3
I'm not sure that will play on a radio since it makes the Screamer
player crash because they are sending a lot of B.S. along with the
audio
that includes program guide info, etc. If the radio can ignore all
that it should be OK.
This is what they are sending in place of Title and Artist:
<nowplaying><artist><name><![CDATA[The New]]></name></

unless I find one at Goodwill for $7.99 since it's pretty useless. It
only gets foreign stations that nobody would want to see and can't do
anything any netbook can't do. They claim you can watch TV from UK,
Germany, Spain, Italy, Mexico, China, Japan, Vietnam, Philippine,
Korea etc. but it doesn't get channels that anyone would want to watch
like Amazon Video On Demand, Netflix, Youtube, Apple iTunes Store,
Hulu, etc.
Also they are poorly made with just a 4.3" screen and the resolution
is only 480x272pixels.
It might make a good internet radio with a video screen if it was
cheaper and better quality but the reviews are pretty bad.
Cnet said about it: "Streams are often choppy; content is poorly
organized; the plastic antenna is flimsy; terrestrial broadcasts are
not supported; screen quality is mediocre; the touch-screen interface
lags; internal memory is meager; charging requires a power adapter;
and battery life is poor.
The Kula TV is a neat concept plagued by cheap construction, a half-
baked user interface, and poor performance. Better to use an iPod or
FloTv."
You can get a free TV viewer program to use on a laptop, I get spam in
my inbox advertising them all the time, but there aren't any channels
that anyone would want to watch. You have to be careful since those
programs often contain spyware but I tried one once and couldn't find
anything I wanted to watch. Like Cnet said, the streams are choppy,
video is poor, etc. I also found that a lot of the channels listed are
not even broadcasting.

use something like that.
J & D Schnoor
now, Would any other these be suitable as a dedicated inter radio by
connecting suitable speakers or are all of these netbooks just junk?
stevec5000
pretty lame but that's what my VX6700 smartphone and my ASUS A626 PDA
use and they work OK for playing radio stations. Those netbooks would
probably work for internet radio if you can load the necessary CODECS
and would be more versatile than a dedicated radio. Pickup some
amplified computer speakers and you're all set. You would need to
install some radio playing apps for Windows CE like Muzee,
Wunderradio, or something similar. There are lots of them on Windows
CE web sites. Some are free but others you have to pay $5-$10 for. I
don't think there is a version of IHeartRadio for Windows CE but you
will need a web browser such as Opera Mobile 10 for some stations that
can only be played using Flash or their own dedicated player. One
problem you will run into is loading the apps. The netbook would need
to have wi-fi and the ability to accept memory sticks for loading apps
because in some cases you have to download the compressed program in
the form of a cab file then put it on an SD card or thumb drive to
install it in the device. In other cases the software publisher
doesn't make the cab file available and the only way you can install
it is over the internet using a USB cable with Microsoft Active Sync
from the desktop or directly over wi-fi. Then you will run into some
stations like KFI you just can't play on a small device because the
web page has so much extra crap on it that downloads before you can
even get to the player like videos and such that it crashes the
browser because there just isn't enough memory. On the other hand you
can probably pickup a used PDA or smartphone at the swapmeet or
craigslist for less than $80.
If you get one to try let us know how it works.
stevec5000
$99. Some hated it but others thought it was OK for a starter laptop.
Perhaps an Android table would be better or a "real" laptop for $150
on Black Friday?
Watch out when buying cheap Android tables though, some have an old
version 1.6 of the OS when it's up to 2.2 now I think.

Friday? The only one I have seen so far is the Sony Dash for $129.99 at
Ultimate Electronics.
stevec5000
for $0.01 and use that. Ebay and Amazon are about the only places
selling internet radios at all but you can usually find one for $50.
The last 2 that I bought cost $50 for one and $53 for the other one.
There is currently an RCA RIR205 Infinite Radio on Amazon for $49.00
and Coby 850 on Ebay for $49.95

Here are a couple that I have seen:

I just found this. I have tried the Logitech and it seems like a solid
unit.
stevec5000
Access Pandora, SHOUTcast Radio, Photobucket, NY Times podcasts and
Blue Octy Radio applications. SKU: 9854795
J & D Schnoor
this along anyway. Thy Chumby is on sale today (only) for $59.95 plus
$9.95 shipping today. I have no experience with one of these, but I
have read that some people use these to listen to Pandora. I think it
can be used to listen to at least some internet radio stations.
On another note, I bought my wife a Sony Dash for Christmas. Since
Ultimate Electronics is liquidating and might be up to 40% by now, I
have thought of checking there to see what the Sony Dash is selling
for. Slacker Radio works pretty well on the Sony Dash.
stevec5000
All their prices were still higher than Best Buy even after the
markdown so I asked the guy what the deal is with the high prices and
he said they had been raised back to full retail prices before the
markdown was applied and are higher now than before! Maybe if they
get down to 75% off it might be worth going if there is anything left.

reviews on Amazon. It's several years old so it's probably an orphan
at this point which means there will be no firmware updates having
codecs for new kinds of audio streams and no new features or new
stations being added. One of the reviews said: "There's no way for you
to update these radios. There is also no way to reconfigure it by a
web interface or by USB". Another said: "Half the stations I try do
not connect. Many typical stations, such as BBC World Service are not
listed. You can input your own stations, but it is a cumbersome
process. ASUS support for the product is virtually non-existent".
At this point I wouldn't buy another new one unless it used Reciva
since they list the most stations and there is an active support
community for those and free firmware updates that you can download
and install yourself even if the maker is out of business or doesn't
support the radio anymore. Last week I found a used AE radio at
Goodwill for $6. It's one of the first on the market, a little square
box with a chrome grill and sloping top that you see in all the
internet radio magazine articles from 2007. It didn't work at first
and AE doesn't make or support them anymore but I was able to get the
newest firmware from the Reciva support group and install it myself to
get the radio working again. The update added some new features too so
now it's better than new.

With streaming radio growing at a dazzling rate, you would expect a host of products to support this development. Well, the manufacturers are continuing to answer the call; and they continue to keep us happy, even if we are still wondering how the internet gets into the radio. Let’s try to make some sense of how we can listen to thousands of radio stations from all over the world from our radio. In this article, I’ll look at the table-top devices, otherwise known as Internet Radios. Whether you favor iHeart, Live 360, Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM, or Slacker, let’s explore, discover and play.
AR Acoustic
Research™ has been around for decades and has proven to have the
most sophisticated electronics and high-end speaker technology.
The ARIR201 is a Wi-Fi Internet Radio, which allows you to listen
to Pandora and Slacker from anywhere in your home. In addition,
you can connect to MP3 tunes, AM/FM radio, Internal Memory or USB
Input for your MP3 player.
Pandora and Slacker offer thousands of music selections and millions of tracks. You can even customize your stations with built in buttons, such as the “heart and ban” buttons on Slacker Personal Radio. The AR Infinite Radio allows you to listen to your favorite tunes anywhere in the home with Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connectivity. The Wi-Fi Protected Setup makes Wi-Fi setup easy, even for dummies like me.
This model has an internal memory, which will allow up to 10 hours of your favorite music to be stored. A personal portal allows you to choose from thousands of radio stations with six presets per source. Wake up to your favorite internet or traditional station with a customizable alarm.
It might have a
silly name but the Chumby8 allows you to take favorite parts of
the Internet and deliver them in a friendly, always-on, fresh
format. The Chumby8 works independent of your desktop. Just plug
it in, connect to your wireless network, create a lineup, and
stream everything you like from sports to music to video clips and
photos.
The Chumby8 has over 1,500 apps in more than 30 categories. You can customize your content without the need of a computer. It allows links in apps, like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and others. Choose from ready-to-play themed channels. Mix and match photos and videos, while uploading them to photo sharing sites.
Wake up to a news podcast or Pandora Radio. Check your Google calendar, along with the weather. Follow your friends on Facebook and Twitter, or check Craig’s List. Just hook-up to a broadband internet connection, wireless router or wired Ethernet connection and enjoy the day.
Grace Digital audio
offers seven radio models with an exclusive feature that all “talk
radio” listeners will want. Grace introduced DAR.fm to its entire
line of 2011 radios. DAR.fm allows the user to record and playback
thousands of popular radio shows, placing the world’s top talk
shows on demand, allowing the user to listen when convenient.
Over 70 hours of talk shows can be stored, such as Sean Hannity,
Rush Limbaugh, Dennis Miller and more. News junkies will think
they’re in news heaven.
The Grace Wi-Fi Internet Radio is the first internet radio to allow complete control of your Pandora radio stations directly from the front of the radio, the remote control, or the free iPhone remote control app. In addition to Pandora, you can listen to over 50,000 other radio stations, including NPR on Demand, BBC and iHeart radio.
The Grace Innovator II is another wireless internet radio in the Grace lineup with a remote and auxiliary input, plus Pandora and Sirius radio (needs subscription) with an input jack for your MP3 player. It has over 16,000 internet radio stations from around the world of streaming music, talk radio and podcast, directly from your wireless router.
Are you a fan of
NPR? If so, you might want to check out Livio’s NPR Radio, which
allows you to listen to over 800 NPR stations, plus 16,000 other
stations from around the world in such countries as Japan,
Germany, Afghanistan, or here locally in Georgia. You then
bookmark your favorites with a touch of a button.
NPR Radio is the only internet radio that offers an exclusive NPR menu that organizes NPR stations, programs and content, like podcasts. You can search and explore stories and special features from NPR, as well as the NPR Newscast, which is updated every hour.
NPR radio is easy to setup up, either wirelessly or with an included Ethernet cable, and it can be connected to your existing sound system. You can add your iPod or MP3 player for versatility.
If it’s compact and
portable that you want, then look at the Logitech Squeezebox™
Radio. With the Squeezebox, you have an infinite playlist no
matter your taste in music. It doesn’t matter if your library
includes 100,000 tracks, you rip your own CDs, or buy music from
services like Amazon MP3, eMusic, or iTunes; your Squeezebox lets
you browse, organize and play your collection anywhere, including
outdoors, using a battery.
Logitech partnered with some of the biggest and best subscription music services, such as Pandora, Rhapsody, and Slacker. With Logitech’s Squeezebox™ Touch, its hands on with a 4.3” touch screen, or you can use the remote. Select and play music using the intuitive color touch menus and view album art and photos. You can access music and pictures stored on flash drives and memory cards. It supports just about any format, including MP3, PLAC, WMA, AAC, WAV and AIFF.
You can control your Squeezebox, using your smart phone or tablet. Play, search, sync from any room with the Logitech Squeezebox Controller App, which they sell separately.
All though
receivers are not truly radios, I think it worth mentioning
Rotel’s RCX-1500 receiver. The RCX-1500 supports FM and internet
radio, plus access to the premium radio services, such as Pandora
and SiriusXM, allowing instantaneous connect through 30 presets.
The unit supports both wired and Wi-Fi Ethernet connections.
The RCX-1500 has 100 watts per channel and a CD player, making it the only stereo component you will need.
Wake up to over
16,000 radio stations with the Sangean RCR-8WF clock radio with a
standard FM tuner with RDS capability and streaming Pandora
stations directly from your wireless router. You can choose
something different for each day of the week. Choose by country,
genre or your favorite radio stations, or play music stored in
your computer. This radio has a minimal footprint at 3” in height,
7 3/5” wide, and 8 ½” deep. The radio has two alarm timers with
sleep and snooze timers. A CD player or iPod can be connected
through the Aux socket.
German
engineering brings you Sonoro elements W, a streamlined
internet/FM radio alarm clock and media player. Like most of the
other internet radio stations, the elements W allows you to choose
a station by name, country, or music from 64 genre selections.
This radio has a crisp OLED- display and a matching, high quality
RF remote control. An eDock for your iPod is an accessory and can
be operated through the remote control. This radio comes in white
or black and looks very hi-tech.
Stop searching for
the latest news, weather, sports and social network updates.
Sony’s Dash streams playlists of personalized apps, as well as
internet radio, photos and video through a vivid 7” touch
screen. There are 1,000+ apps available, delivering the
information and entertainment that you desire. Your selection is
played through stereo speakers, or privately through headphones.
You can keep up with what Sony has to offer, such as movie
trailers, minisodes, music videos, game trailers and celebrity
themes.
The 7” touch screen is an 800x480 resolution LCD screen with a compact footprint that blends with any decor. Whether you wish to listen to music or watch a full-length movie or TV show, the bright screen makes the experience enjoyable. You can set-up either one time or recurring custom alarms with the option of waking to an internet radio station, built-in alarm sounds, or a favorite video clip. Imagine waking up to a video of a rooster on a fence, crowing away. On second thought, let’s not imagine that.
Most internet radios use an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network interface, and have a USB port so that a MP3 player can be connected. Some models have rechargeable batteries with an integrated internal charger for mobility. All though it is possible to connect an internet radio to a computer, it is more convenient to use wireless technology, such as Wi-Fi, which enables the listener to enjoy internet radio anywhere in their home or place of business.
An internet radio is a great gift idea for all military personnel stationed overseas, as they can reminisce with their favorite music or radio stations back here.
Unlike a PC, these devices deliver the content you desire while blending with your décor. Because they are always on, you get fresh content, eliminating searching or booting up. All of the radios supply apps and most programs at no charge. Radio, as we have known it, has morphed into something exciting, where we no longer have to tune-into a program at a certain time, or be forced to listen to music that is lackluster. We, the listeners, now control the media.
