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!

this dont work for me.. yupp
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.
@Ladyraven Did you read the article fully? There IS instructions for Internet Explorer.
were is the internet explorer one? I don't see it at all. If any one can help me, i need the radio link to the eagle 181fm. don't just say its on here, because i dont see it.
where are the instructions for the internet explorer? i sure dont see them..
"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." Try Reading.
they DO have an IE link... but they tell you to follow the guide below when youre on the old site... Problem with that is we dont have the option "copy link location"... Basically, there is an IE website, but no tutorial for it.
Okay, update lol, turns out that opy link location is "copy shortcut" for IE users. soooo: 1. log into the old site 2. Find the station you want and right click it 3. choose "copy shortcut" 4. enter the shortcut into the URL: box. 5. add station name 6. Play
i've tried the old and new site all i get after i add the links and try playing "can't play the stream" helop please
Ok looks like shoutcast updated so when you use the firefox method it will copy a link that is the player so look for the switch to classic they do this method over again, and i hope i helped the guy above me ^.^. Ive been having the same problems as you for hours
I have IE and ive tryed everything, Nothing works. Please help if you know how to do it.
I think it's great how it goes through all the trouble of explaining how to do it just to have it not work.
Thanks chrono that helped out alot :P i was like wtf how can i copy the link? using ie :D
I know this used to work, but it doesn't now. Is there maybe an alternative site that could be used?
Works on only mp3 type stations
