Hi,

Chicago's The Loop - http://www.wlup.com/ - has just disappeared from my favourite list and I can't find it in the menus any more. Presumably this is because the streaming format has changed.

I have found the station on radiotime, and added it as a preset, but on the squeezecenter radiotime preset page it says "97.9 | The Loop 97.9 (Classic Rock) - Not Supported". I have a few other presets that are "Not Supported" but some that work OK.

So, what's the deal with radiotime "Not Supported"? Is there any workaround for this?
And/or has anyone got any working streams for The Loop?

Cheers..

If I'm reading the RadioTime icon correctly (I lost my decoder ring), WLUP looks like a Real Audio stream and that is not supported by SB players.

I think the plugin AlienBBC can play Real Audio streams but I have no idea how to tune in a station URL on Alien.
