### Tune In Now

If you already know the URL of the station you would like to listen to, enter it below and click on the "Tune In" button. You can enter the URL of either the radio stream itself (e.g. http://62.49.59.50:8000) or the playlist file that is pointing to the stream (e.g. http://www.hitzradio.com/hitzradio.pls).

### Internet Radio Providers

SlimServer includes support for several Internet Radio providers, include Shoutcast, Live365 and radioio. To browse the station directories of these providers, navigate to the `Internet Radio` menu on your Squeezebox.

Some providers have premium subscription options. To enter your username and password for an Internet Radio provider, or configure how you view the provider's stations, click here. You can also choose the `Internet Radio` section on the `Server Settings` page.

### Playlist Files

To save a pointer to an Internet Radio station that you listen to often, you can create an .m3u or .pls playlist file containing the URL of the station in your Saved Playlists folder. You can download these files by right-clicking on the links at most streaming radio web sites.

iTunes users can drag stations from the Radio section of iTunes to their Library or to a playlist. It will then be available in the Saved Playlists area in the corresponding iTunes section.

You can also create playlists for Internet radio stations yourself using a text editor. They're just small text files containing the URLs of one or more stations. Here's an example .pls file from www.live365.com for a station called Monkeyfunk:

    [playlist]
    numberofentries=1
    File1=http://62.49.59.50:8000
    Title1=Monkeyfunk
    Length1=-1
    Version=2

The SlimServer can also create and use M3U playlist files. M3U playlist files simply contain a list of one or more URLs or path names, each on its own line in the file.

One note: Internet radio stations often change their URL or go offline. If you are having problems with a station that worked at one time, visit their website again and see if you need to update your playlist file for that station.
