Part 1: Setup Media Center Views for your Streaming Radio Stations

View --> Add View --> Library View --> and then in order: - First Change the Location to (Root), then - Scrowl down the Icon List and select "Empty View" - Give it a Name (eg "Radio Stations")

You will then be presented a "Customise View" Windows and in this: - Change View As: to "File List", then - Select "... Set rules for file display" and the "Edit Search Window" will appear - Under the Rules Select "Midia Sub Type" "is" "Radio" as shown

You may want to change the Displayed Columns in this new View to suit and to also help with tagging as you are going to need to make sure any imported URL's have a "Media Sub Type" set to Audio

Part 2: Importing Streaming Radio Stations into Media Center - File --> Open URL --> Paste in your Streaming Radio url - Check "Show web media options when opening to allow recording and more" and then Press OK - On the Open URL Dialogue box Check "Add stream to web media" only and then Press OK - In MC Navigate to Audio --> Connected Media --> My Connected Media and change the "Media Sub Type" tag to "Radio"

Part 3: Other items - The new entry should now appear in your "Radio Stations" View and you can update the Tags, Add Coverart etc as with any other Media Center item. - You can also make add this view so it appears in Gizmo/Jremote/EOS etc and MC will pass the URL to these players and in most cases the local device will be able to play the stream directly from the Web (you device will need to be able to playback these streams nativly as they are not transcoded by Media Server).
