internet radio streams

Thu Nov 05, 2009 1:16 am

I am using Kubuntu Jaunty. When I first installed the system I know that I was able to add Internet Radio streams and choose them from Playlists -> My Playlists. If I remember correctly there was a button there that had the caption "Add Stream".

Because I screwed up something unrelated, I needed to reinstall the OS. Since then I don't have the "Add Streams" button on the My Playlist tool. Have I missed installing a library or something that has this not show up? Can someone please help me?

Menu -> Playlist -> Add Stream...

That said, you probably want to upgrade to Kubuntu 9.10, which comes with Amarok 2.2.

I acknowledge that I have not been specific enough. Great I can use the menu to get the stream that I want. When I have the "Add Stream" button in the
"My Playlist" tool then I can just right click to "load" it into the playlist. That is what I miss.

I'm not 100% sure what you mean here, but there is one other way to get a stream into the playlist:

Mark (select) the URL, e.g. in your web browser, then press CTRL-C, then go to Amarok, and press the middle mouse button on the playlist.

(This works with 2.2.0, older versions may not have it)

I think He wants to add the stream into his saved playlists so he can access it quickly latter. I can't figure out how to do this in 2.2 either.

Seriously- I'd really like to know how to do this. I'm pretty sure it worked in 2.1.

OK, figured out a workaround. Paste the url into the playlist, remove everything else, then click the floppy disk icon.

But it's not a very handy work-around
I miss this function too. Just an "Add Stream" entry, give it a name, and it's saved in your Internet streams.
