internet radio format support

[pic]

I am very interested in this radio, particularly I would like to use it as a stand alone radio (no PC connection).

Can anyone confirm me that the only format supported internally by the radio are MP3, Ogg Vorbis, AAC and WMA (no FLAC for example) ?

I am playing with SOFTSQUEEZE 3.8 on my PC and it is not able to receive this radio: http://www.radiomontecarlo.net/Radio/asx/rmcfm.asx , VLC says it is WMA2. Is it a SOFTSQUEEZE only problem ? Can anyone try to listen it using Boom ?

Many thanks to all

That works fine on the Boom.

That is a SoftSqueeze only problem as Softsqueeze can only play MP3 and Flac natively. If you are using a non Windows based SC - install mplayer and AlienBBC plugin and it will do WMA transcoding for SOftsqueeze.

Just tested it on the Radio - works fine.

I am very happy to hear this.
I only do not understand very well what stated in Technical Specifications web page:

Audio formats
* MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIFF, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, AAC, Apple Lossless

Internet radio
* Support for MP3, Ogg Vorbis, AAC and WMA formatted Internet radio streams

Why they differs "Audio formats" and "Internet radio" ?

Thanks,

Yes, it runs on Ubuntu, I will do what you suggest.

Internet radio have transport protocols used to transfer the audio stream across the internet. The list implies support of the transport protocols.

For example - there are a few services which send Flac or WAV audio streams but since the transport protocol is not supported or is non standard - Flac and Wav are not shown as support Internet Audio formats.

Ok, now I am starting to understand.
This means that I need to investigate not only which codec is used, but also which transport protocol is used by a radio to know if I will be able to listen it using SB. Is it right ?
