Where can I find Radio Stations?

You can find radio stations on the SwiftKit Radio Page, but if there isn't anything to your liking there, you can search a site called ShoutCast (http://www.shoutcast.com).

Here you can search for a radio station of your liking and play it right in SwiftKit! If you're unsure how to do this, follow the steps below:

Note: ShoutCast has updated their site recently and users using Internet Explorer cannot use the below method with the new site. You're going to have to use the old site, and follow the instrcutions following this.

1) Go to http://www.shoutcast.com and search for a genre of your liking (Rap, R&B, Techno, Rock, Metal etc.)



2) Wait for the page to load and you will see a list of results



3) Right click on the 'Tune In' button of the station you would like to listen to, and click "Copy Link Location" (FireFox)


4) Open up SwiftKit. Go to the 'Music' tab by the Stats lookup tool and go down to Playlist options. Click, and click 'Show Online Radio'



5) Now click the 'Add' button and go to 'Add Station'



6) Put the name as anything (perhaps the genre, it's up to you), and in the URL field, right click and 'Paste' the link you just copied from your browser.



7) Click add. Now you will see your station in the Radio Station list. Double click it, and it will buffer, then play. Enjoy!

It would have been nice if you would give instructions for internet explore too, and not just firefox. For your info firefox is awful. Why down load another internet browser when windows is alreay equiped with IE? Please give instructions for putting radio stations on your swiftkit list using IE.
