Finding a Station URL
You require the URL (Internet address) of any radio station you wish to set up
on the vTuner service. You will generally find the URL on the station’s website.
Another method of finding the URL is to search for it using an Internet
searching service such as Shoutcast (www.shoutcast.com). Once you have
found your station, click on the 'Tune In' switch: this will normally open your
media player, and the station should play. In most cases you can set Media
Player to display the 'Streaming Properties'. For example, using the popular
Winamp Player, simply right-click on the entry for the currently playing station
in the player’s Playlist window. A menu now opens, and clicking on the point
‘View File Info’ opens an information box which displays the streaming
properties including the URL.
