Adding a radio station manually

In case you cannot find an Internet radio station in XStream Xtra you can add the station to the XStream Xtra station list manually.

Before you begin

To add a new station you require the station's streaming URL.

Tip: Determining the correct streaming URL can be tricky as it is different from the station's website URL. Winamp users: open the stream with Winamp. Winamp will then display the stream properties. There you will also find the streaming URL.
