    Add to favourites?

    I'm possibly being dense here, but is the "Add to favourites" functionality missing from the Touch? Yesterday, I was playing a radio station that I had found via the search facility. On my SB3 I would be able to navigate right and have the option of adding it as a favourite. I couldn't find an equivalent on the Touch.

    I'm going to take a wild guess and presume the station you are playing and want to save as a Favorite is from either the Internet Radio or RadioTime menus?

    If yes, both menu items are from RadioTime, and this is currently broken for their feeds.
    If you are playing from another stream source (ShoutCast, Live365, etc..) the "Add to Favorites" works fine from the Now Playing screen.

    Currently, to save a RadioTime feed, hover over that stream in it's menu listing (prior to playing it or go backwards from Now Playing screen), then touch and hold that stream name, "Save to Favorites" is offered.

    I don't have a Touch, but:

    is this not available in the context menu?

    - Press 'Now playing x of y' on the Now Playing screen, or
    - Hold on list-items.

    I went to Internet Radio and then found it via Search.

    Yup, that's a RadioTime feed then.

    If it's a RadioTime feed then no SB can currently add it to Favorites from the Now Playing screen.
    Yes, you can add to Favorites from the menu list-items.

    I was able to save a radio station to favorites by first adding to the end of the current playlist, then in playlist I was able to save to favorites.

    I've added a BBC podcast to the Touch and whilst there is a menu option to add to favourites, it doesn't actually work. Any ideaa?

    Did you try to first add to the end of the current playlist, then go to playlist and press more (+) and try to save to favorites?

    That's interesting, because BBC3 from the BBC plugin desn't offer "Add to Favourites" either here. Same with Deezer and Shoutcast as well.

    All I get is:
    Remove from Playlist >
    Title
    More Info >
    On Last.fm Radio >

    I can only add something to Favourites by going back once to the list of stations and holding the atation name.

    Does anyone else remember that a firmware version on the Radio did a similar thing, which was then fixed in a firmware update?
