As has been discussed before the hostname they distribute for the free
streams is no longer valid. It's a problem on their eind.

Please describe the TIDAL issue in more detail in a relevant thread.

Playing RadioTunes, ClassicalRadio and JazzRadio without LMS?

I ve subscribed to RadioTune, ClassicalRadio & JazzRadio Premium.
The problem is Im unable to play these by using the app and connecting to mysqueezebox.com, I get error messages like "Transport end point not connected" "unable to resolve IP /stream" etc.
The only way I found I could get them to play was to connect to LMS on my Macbook Air, add each URL /opml manually to favourites using the web remote control from LMS. But all this ceases if the laptop is closed or shut down..
All others radio stations play properly so far without having to go through LMS. How do I get Radiotunes to play without LMS?
Would greatly welcome any suggestions

Would those URLs be https or http?

That's the playlists. The streams themselves might still be https. Could
you download one of these lists using curl or wget?

Would you mind sharing this file's content with me?

Should edit the links to remove the key - and send the contents of the file by PM to Michael.

I've tried it ... works from Chrome but not mplayer - so something special going on ...
It is AAC delivered by Icecast. But perhaps something odd in the way it is done.

wget to a file (ctrl-c to break out) and then mplayer on the saved data works fine though

AAC file format detected.

The file is a playlist ... it is a small text file that contains the URL(s) to the real stream.
So just open it up in a text editor and paste the contents into a PM to Michael.
I can do it later on if needed (am not at computer where it is sitting).

Thanks, then thats fine... i ve opened it up with TextEdit (macos) and am sending it to Michael. Its the size that got me concerned that i might have erred..Many thanks, again

Some SB models (Boom, Classic/SB3, Transporter, Receiver/Duet) cannot play AAC. They'd need the server to transcode it. myst.com does not do this. You'd only be able to play these streams on SB Radio/Touch, or by using LMS.
