SECTION 6: INTERNET RADIO

You can listen to Internet radio in one of three ways. First, you can listen to SoundBridge’s built-
in set of radio stations located in the “Internet Radio” Library. Your computer does not need to
be on - all you need is an active Internet connection on your home network. Second, you can
enter a URL of a radio station playlist on the Internet Radio tab of the SoundBridge web page.
(This feature is described more in the “Web Page Control” chapter of this user guide.) Be sure
to try using Roku Radio Snooper to easily find the urls, test the streams, and set new Internet
radio stations as presets. Third, you can use iTunes to tune in to other stations, and then play
them back on SoundBridge. (Note: You can use iTunes for radio tuning even if you normally use
Windows Media Connect as your music server.)

The easiest way to play Internet Radio on SoundBridge is through the “Internet Radio” Library,
where you can access a large and growing number of Internet Radio stations, browseable by
Name, Genre, Language, and Location. To navigate to the “Internet Radio” Library, follow these
steps:

1. Press Home Menu [

]. Navigate down to ”Change Library or Configuration” and press

Select [

].

2. Your available music libraries will be displayed, including the one named “Internet Radio.”

Select that library and you will see a list of Internet radio stations. These are your Presets,
and they are pre-loaded when your SoundBridge is first set up. See below for more
information on how to edit these Presets.

3. Scroll to the station you want to play and press Play [

ϐ]. (Alternatively, you can press Select

[

] and choose “Get Station Info” to view the genre/format of the station, its language and

location.)

When the station is playing, the “Now Playing” screen looks similar to this,:

The song and artist information is provided by each Internet radio station. Therefore, it may not
be available for every Internet radio station, or it may look slightly different.
