Wow, sounds great! Thanks! For some reason my "reception" is intermittent, but I think that's because I'm out in the boonies and have a flakey connection. Now I must muster the willpower to go out in the workshop and finish up some prototype boxes. Must... finish... boxes... Okay, after this song is over ("Radioactivity" by Kraftverk). Duke

It' dead simple. When you go to the main window of any of the ART topical forums, there's an "ART Radio" link between "Home" and "Posting Rules". Clicking on that brings up a small window, and, at least on Windows, opens the download manager. It tells you about a file named "play.pls", which you want to download to your disk. It's a one line text file and the .pls suffix means that it's a playlist. You could open it with Itunes or Windows Media Player, for example, and then ART Radio would stream though your computer's sound card.For the Squeezebox, move the file to the directory where you keep your files for the Slimserver database access and purt it at the top level so it will index at your first browsing level. I renamed "play.pls" to ART_Radio.pls so I could easily spot it. Then you bring it up on your Squeezebox display and hit play. It'll take a few seconds to buffer, and then it plays. Worked flawlessly for me for over an hour or so yesterday.

Thanks Melissa - I was wondering if Switchtech had been played. Glad you like it! My son has been listening to ART Radio and thinks it's a great mix of songs. So do I, judging by what I've been able to hear so far; Switchtech is mingling with some rather exalted company. In case anyone is wondering I'm talking about, the song "Switchtech Circuitry" is by one of my sons, performing under the name "Klez". Needless to say I'm grinning from ear to ear that Switchtech made it on to the playlist. Duke
