Internet Radio: auto stream selection

i recently registered my radio station with Nokia Internet Radio. it is available in 3 stream flavors (192kbps/MP3, 128kbps/AAC+, 64kbps/AAC+). all streams have been verified okay upon registration.
i noticed that the Internet Radio player keeps selecting the stream with lowest bitrate (64kbps/AAC+) no matter what connection type i'm using (WiFi, GPRS).
according to the FAQ the player should automatically select higher bitrates when connected over WiFi but that seems not to be the case... any idea why?
also, it would be helpful if anyone could explain to me how the choice between different streams is made in the player in detail (if a station has multiple streams to choose from), e.g. how is the preferred bitrate related to the connection type etc..
thanks.

on the macbook pro I downloaded windows media player 9 for mac. On my imac I just go to the station click on their listen button and it streams fine, but not on the macbook. the settings on both players are the same.

  • Nokia Internet Radio WMA-streams?

    Hi!
    Is it possible to have the Nokia Internet Radio to support radio stations streaming in WMA format. If not, any recommendations on other such programs!

    Pretty sure Nokias can't pay ACC streams.  It is a s simple as that.

  • How to use my iPhone 4 to select Internet radio stations on MacBook Pro

    Okay, once again I return here to seek guidance and wisdom.  Fellow members here told me about Air Video, a terrific set of programs for iOS and OS X to stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4.  It is awesome!
    Now, my other need (?).  I want to run something on my Mac that lets me select Internet radio station streams like TuneIn for ex., but I want to be able to change selections on whatever is on the Mac from the iPhone 4.  What I want to do is use the iPhone 4 as a remote for the app on the Mac which I want to connect to either some external speakers or someday to a real external Dac, amp, and speakers.
    I have the TuneIn Pro app on my iPhone 4 already and on the Mac via browser have accessed their website.
    Now someone surely is going to mention Airplay or something to stream from the iPhone4.  From the cost of Airplay capable hardware, I just can't afford it yet.  Maybe if I could find Bluetooth speaker or device?
    One other thing to throw in for thought.  I have not only iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but also Fidelia and Amarra, and thinking about Decibel or Audirvana.  In other words somewhat hi-def music output quality available on the Mac.  So....I do have a remote app for Fidelia and think there's one for either Decibel or Audirvana, so that brings me back to Internet radio on the MacBook Pro.  If I can find a way to use the iPhone 4 to select an app on the Mac for Internet radio, I can play those plus hi-def music via one of those programs.
    I probably didn't say all that right, but I hope you can decipher what I am asking about.
    If nothing else, can you recommend inexpensive Bluetooth speakers to play radio from the iPhone4?  I was hoping to buy some AudioEngine powered speakers for the Mac, hence the desire to run all sound/music through that device but using the iPhone4 as control device.

    Hi Starbux48
    First off. The benefits of using Amarra, Pure Music, Audirvana or whatever, can only be heard if you have a true audiophile system set-up. Think of systems starting from 5000 U$. Then only if your music files are high resolution. Think ALAC or FLAC, AIFF or Wave.  For all other music playing the itunes set-up suffices. So the better idea for you will be playing the music over your macbook.
    Mountain lion offers airplay for intel based macs. You can use this. If you install the free Remote App. on your iPhone, you can use that to control itunes on your Macbook via wifi/Airplay. The remote app offers you the view of itunes on your Macbook and the screen of your Macbook changes with what you do on your iPhone. So you can even control the itunes radiostation from your iPhone.
    If you have an older, non-intel macbook, you can install airserver on your macbook. This will set you back 15 dollars or so, but will basically do the same.

  • How do you bookmark internet radio station?

    I have been listening to Internet Radio stations on Itunes Windows 12.0.1.26
    Seems like there has to be a means of "bookmarking" an Internet Radio Station stream.
    I am referring to how to bookmark one of the hundreds of stations

    This is not really an iTunes U question per se ... so you might have better luck in a different forum.
    However, I "think" this is the correct answer.
    To have your stream listed, by default, in the "Radio" playlist, I believe you would have to contact Apple directly. But you can create a "playlist" file and refer to your stream within it. Playlist files are double-clickable and are imported directly into iTunes. I have tested this theory with Shoutcast playlists and it works like a charm. Here's Apple's blurb (out of date for developers, but not necessarily for you) on the subject:
    http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/QT6WhatsNew/Chap1/chapter1_section58.html
    So the basic idea would be to create a playlist file, attach it to a link on your website, and then just refer users to the link. Once they click the link, iTunes would do the rest.

  • Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

    Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

    Yes, but it WON'T play through the browser. It'll require any visitor who clicks it to have iTunes installed, and it'll open iTunes as soon as they do.

  • I want to listen to internet radio as I used to do. The selection "Radio" has gone from my list under "Music". How do I get it back again?

    I want to listen to internet radio as I used to do. The selection "Radio" has gone from my list under "Music". How do I get it back again?

    I don't know if this is what you really want, but I created a Playlist for Radio, and add some of the stations I like from websites. (If you click on the web-links they load into iTunes in the Sidebar). And you can also add individual Radio stations from the top right,(under Apple) to a Playlist. That's the only way I know to have them in the Sidebar.
    Z_ZS-B, You also helped me to find the old Radio list! I didn't even know it was up on the right, under Apple. I haven't liked this version of iTunes so I hadn't even bothered to try and figure it out until now, but because I just bought a my first iPod Shuffle I'm determined to bend this version to my will. ;-)

  • Pragha: I can't play a streaming internet radio link

    I want to play an internet radio from this link: http://loudcity.com/stations/death-fm/
    But I keep getting an error "missing Gstreamer plug-in"
    I have most of the plug-ins already installed so I don't understand why its not playing. All of my other media will play with no problems, I only have an issue with streaming radio links or .pls files.

    Actually I've tried both ways and I get the same error.
    Just to be sure... can anyone try that link to see if it works with their Pragha setup?

  • Can you bookmark a station in the Internet radio stream?

    I'd like a way to go directly to my favorite stations, rather than having to run through the list each time I load the Internet radio.

    Yes you can - select the station and instead of playing hold the selection button down for a few secs to get some options including adding to a favourite list.
