It's a good idea to send the links you want to your gmail account instead of trying to copy/paste them from the list. I just send all the ones I want to my phone that way the URLs can be copied by long pressing the links.
iPod doesn't like it as I don't have a source for ios 7.1.1 and still have the old stable 6, and going to the latest 8 or 9 will render an iPad2 useless; so, I'm trying it on a old POS android phone.
Thanks a million for all the links- cut and past thru gmail is a great idea. Thanks again.
The forced obsolescence of Apple products is a very good reason not to buy them. I experienced the same thing with my sister's old ipod touch when I wanted to use it to stream my favorite radio station. I had to go through about 10 different apps before I even found one that would install on v6. The audio quality is excellent though and it works amazingly well for that task, but Apple would rather turn the product into e-waste than let you make full use of it.
I think I have another one of those in a box somewhere around here. I might pull it out and try to figure out a way to get the m3u8 streams going on it. It is Apple's format that they tried to push on everyone after all, there should be something for it.
At least in my experience, and speaking outside of the realm of sound and image manipulation and some video work, the typical Apple purchaser is making more of a fashion statement than a technology statement. I really don't care for a manufacturer that fences me in.
I've always found it a little comical that if you have an Apple you have to get viewers and other software to read the documents made by the rest of the world, but the rest of the world doesn't seem to be interested enough to get viewers for Apple documents.
Kind of the Harley-Davidson of phones.....not a particularly great product, but a 'club' into which instant membership can be gained by the purchase of a device.
The Samsung S7 puts any Crapple phone to shame, and I predict it will be a rather pitiful game of catch-up for Apple from here on in. Samsung is now making the Crapple displays.
The box that many broadcasters won’t look outside of was made in 1969 and hasn’t changed significantly since.
You could have multiple channels being restreamed to the same server. This could be done on your home PC or you could rent a cheap server at a place like ramnode. Would just take a bit of reading if you're not experienced with using command line utilities or editing configuration files.
The benefit of doing it this way is that the actual encoded audio data is never transcoded so no quality is lost. It simply restreams it to a regular HTTP server that your internet radio would be able to connect to.
Edit: added -re which should solve some buffering issues I was getting
This is way, way over my head. I'm reasonably sure I could 'get it' with enough trial and error and help from someone, but it would be akin to learning to fly a helicopter in order to take a one hour ride over the grand canyon.....probably better to hire a pro for the short trip.
The server service seems reasonable at 15 a year or 8 a quarter.

Plate Cap summed it up for me too- I'd love to just be able to punch up a button on my internet radio.
Somewhat OT: What exactly does an 'Turtle Beach AudioTron' digital player do? I'm assuming it's can't replicate my Internet radio, probably needs a computer connected to it, and since it's older than my Internet Radio, I'm also assuming it has limited files types/playlists that it can reproduce?
Plate Cap, you and I must have the same (good) taste in Music- yes, the volume is louder on the EZ, and I think it said 126kbps AAC 44.1kHz as well.
Save Ferris: were you ever able to find a program that could decode the m3U8 playlist on an old Apple iPad (v6) without upping the iOs to where it boggs the hardware down to useless?
I don't do Crapple products. Any of them. Just non-productive IMO. What's great is I can open these streams in so many different apps, even on my XP Pro boxes.
I confirm all my information through a high, white whore's souse!
