I frequently listen to Absolute Radio while I'm working at my computer via Rhythmbox. Recently I heard them mention a couple of new stations and thought they should be included by default in Rhythmbox like the others are.
I'm not sure if these are installed by default only in Ubuntu or if they are installed with Rhythmbox in general. If they are installed in general, the new stations are from Absolute Radio and are listed below: Absolute Radio 80s (Broadband) http://network.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/ogg/live.pls?service=a8bb Absolute Radio 80s (Modem) http://network.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/ogg/live.pls?service=a8 Absolute Radio 90s (Broadband) http://network.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/ogg/live.pls?service=a9bb Absolute Radio 90s (Modem) http://network.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/ogg/live.pls?service=a9 As you can see, these are the ogg versions for 80s and 90s radio for Modem (~32k) and Broadband (~160k). The 90s ogg links are not posted on the website as of yet, however, I am currently listening to them and can verify that they are live and working. For more information on these stations please see: http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/listen/on_your_computer.html On that page they state: "Whilst we broadcast online in lots of different formats to give you as many options as possible, Absolute Radio fully supports the use of open, non-proprietary music formats like OGG Vorbis." So they should continue broadcasting to these links for a long time. I think these stations would likely be used quiet a bit by Rhythmbox users and would be a quick and easy way to give users more options by default. Any opinions or comments? -- Kyle Baker _______________________________________________ rhythmbox-devel mailing list rhythmbox-devel@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/rhythmbox-devel
