How to add favorites from radio?

[snowmanvt]

I love my new squeezebox Radio. One thing has me stumped--how do I add
stations to the Favorites menu item directly from the radio? I tried to
tap the "+" button, as described in the features manual.
A new menu comes up, but "add to favorites" is not an option.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I'd swear the "+" or knob push offered Add to Favorites on Radio while playing a selection at some point. Must have been removed (or I'm seeing things..... again).

You can add a selection to Favorites with "+" or knob push & hold from the menu's (before selecting to Play item, or pressing BACK button while playing item).

Thanks for the tip=--I will try it soon. The documentation with
the Squeezebox radio is so much better than that with my Grace.
I guess they missed this one, somehow. Or the updated firmware
changed the process.

toby: That didnt seem to work either. Which ever I do,
I do not get an add to favorites, nor does it add to favorites automatically.

I can add to favorites thru the website by entering the url, but that is tiem consuming.

Not sure what to tell you, works on my Radio on both SBS 7.4 and MySB.

"+" or knob push & hold brings up a context menu which includes Save to Favorites (or Remove from Favorites, if it is already saved as a Favorite).

Local music this works in both Now Playing and in the menu selection.
Internet Radio streams this only works in the menu selection, not on Now Playing.

To be clear: you navigate to a menu selection (station stream), prior to playing that selection you press "+", and it does NOT offer Save to Favorites as an option?
What does "+" offer you?

Thanks--I was trying to save a favorite while the stream was playing. It seems to me that saving while playing is more intuitive, after all how do you know something might be a favorite if you are not hearing it. But, all is well that ends well...thanks again.

I agree, it should be available in Now Playing screen, I'd swear it was at one point.
After selecting the stream just hit the BACK button and save it to Favorites from there.
