• MP3 streams (usually ending in .pls or .m3u)
• WMA streams (usually ending in .asx). You will need the 2.5 software installed on the SoundBridge to play these back.

• AAC+ streams

• Real streams (usually ending in .ram)

• Method 1: The 18 preset locations on the SoundBridge/SoundBridge Radio are each set to a popular Internet Radio station out-of-the-box.
• Method 2: On SoundBridge 3.0 software (a free upgrade), you can directly browse Radio Roku's database of thousands of Internet radio stations, all of which are compatible with SoundBridge. Just use your remote control to choose "Play Internet Radio" from the main SoundBridge menu, and then you can browse and search for stations. Or, visit the Radio Roku web site to see even more station details, and manage your SoundBridge players with drag-and-drop simplicity.
• Method 3: In addition to the thousands of stations available on Radio Roku, you may add your own stations. See "How can I add a station to my Presets if it's not on Radio Roku?"
• Method 4: You may use Roku Radio Snooper as a simple method to quickly find a streaming url and set a new Internet radio station as one of your presets.

Favorites

• Any station in the Radio Roku database can be marked as a "Favorite" station, either by using the Radio Roku web page itself, or via the on-screen menus on the SoundBridge.
• Stations marked as Favorites are easily accessed via the "My Favorites" menu option on the SoundBridge, when using the Internet Radio feature on SoundBridge.
• Favorites are remembered on the Radio Roku service, so if you have more than one SoundBridge player assigned to a Radio Roku account, the same list of Favorite stations appears on each SoundBridge, and changes made on one SoundBridge will show up on the others, and on the Radio Roku web site.
• You can mark as many Favorite stations as you want.
• Only stations that are listed on the Radio Roku site can be Favorites.
• You must register for a free Radio Roku account to use Favorites.

Presets

• Presets allow you to play any type of supported content with the press of a couple of buttons.
• Presets are not limited to Internet radio stations. You can set an Internet station to be a Preset, but you can also set a Preset for a favorite album on your local music server, or a shuffled playlist, or even an entire genre.
• If you want to play a station that does not appear in the Radio Roku database, you can use one of your Preset memory slots to remember the URL for that station on your SoundBridge. You can either enter the URL manually, or by memorizing a playlist from iTunes, or by using the Roku Radio Snooper (see "How can I add a station to my Presets if it's not on Radio Roku?")
• The SoundBridge can store up to 18 Presets.
• Presets are stored right on your SoundBridge. Each SoundBridge has an independent list of Presets.

Method 1: Roku Radio Snooper

• See "What is Roku Radio Snooper?"

Method 2: iTunes Playlist Memorization

If you have a station or stations in an iTunes playlist, you can "memorize" the stations into that playlist. Each station will be stored into one of your Presets, and a maximum of 18 stations can be stored. Follow these steps:

• From the SoundBridge, select your iTunes library.
• Scroll down the main menu and select Settings.
• Scroll down the Settings menu and select Memorize radio playlist….
• You will then be asked to select an iTunes playlist. Select the playlist that contains the stations you want to add to your SoundBridge Presets, and the SoundBridge will replace the current Presets with the first 18 stations in the selected playlist. If the playlist has fewer than 18 stations, then the remaining Presets will be left as they were.

Method 3: SoundBridge/SoundBridge Radio Web Configuration Pages

You can directly enter the URL of a station into the web page built in to your SoundBridge player. Follow these steps:

• Obtain the IP address of the SoundBridge by going to System Configuration > Show WiFi Status or System Configuration > Show Wired Ethernet Status (depending on what model and how you have it set up) from the SoundBridge main menu.
• Enter this IP address into a web browser on your computer to bring up the SoundBridge configuration pages.
• Select the Internet Radio link at the top of the SoundBridge configuration page.
• Now, enter the URLs of the stations you wish to access, replacing the Preset stations. Click here to find out more about how to obtain the URL for your personal Internet radio stations. You can also change the name that will appear on the SoundBridge for each station.
• When you are done, click the Update Radio Stations button at the bottom of the page.

• Download and install Roku Radio Snooper, a program that detects Internet radio streams and returns their URLs.
• If there is a link for the stream on a webpage and clicking the link results in the stream playing in your media player, it should be possible to simply allow the stream to play and then choose File > Properties in Windows Media Player or Edit > Get Info in iTunes to get the URL which can then be copied and pasted into the SoundBridge preset configuration webpage.
• If the stream opens in an embedded Windows Media Player in a web page, you may be able to right-click on the embedded WMP and choose Properties to obtain the URL.
• If the stream is played in a window through some other embedded application, you may be able to discover the URL through inspection of the source code of the page.
• If all else fails, ask on the Roku forums. A helpful fellow customer or Roku employee may be able to provide the URL for the stream.
