General internet radio FAQ's

How fo I add custom urls for my own radio stations

One way to add custom urls is to use Tunein. Although this can only be performed by some Tunein app. Refer to Tunein on how to do this.


The other way is, if you have a local UPnP media server, is to create a M3U or PLS playlist with your own radio station links. This will then allow your UPnP media server to share this m3u/PLS Playlist and allow you to select and plau your own radio stations.
