Hi There,

I'm looking for information on how to add a radio station to the Windows
Media Guide. I've checked through Google, and can find nothing about how to
do this.

My radio station uses mp3 streaming, it's Gateway FM, a community radio
station in Essex, UK. How would we get added to the Windows Media Radio
Station Guide? Do we have to be encoding in Windows Media? The community
media association only seems to allow us to broadcast in mp3.


Regards
Mark Crosby

You'll be required to undergo stability and load testing as part of
this process so ensure your infrastructure is suitable to several
thousand simultaneous streams, to be checked for reliability.

An alternative place to list your station might also be with Roku's
radio tuner database, which is used to provide radio URLs and titles
to various (now discontinued) Roku soundbridge devices :

Good luck with the station and application !
