I agree, the only thing why its kind of important that it support aac plus streams and alike, is because then you can add the stations to your favorites, and schedule something and it can record without another player have to be open. The way it is now, you have to have your brouzer or another audio player open in order for the skedular to record. Wich means if I have to record something everyday at nine in the morning, I have to set the skedual, and every night make sure before I go to bed that the audio player is running, and I have to even make sure the station in of intrest is running if I want to record from radio. Wich means the radio have to play the hole night just to enable it to be ready.
