Storing Your Favorite Radio Stations to Presets
A Preset is a quick way to play your favorite music on your SoundBridge Radio. Any music you
can play on the SoundBridge Radio can be saved as a Preset. This includes AM/FM and Internet
radio stations, playlists, albums, tracks by a particular artist, and so on. The SoundBridge Radio
presets are not “source specific” — there are not separate presets for FM, AM and Internet radio.
This allows you to arrange your Presets any way you like, and gives you one-button access to
any source.
SoundBridge Radio supports 18 presets in three banks of six: A1–A6, B1–B6 and C1–C6. Press
the A-B-C button to access each set of six presets.
To program an AM/FM radio station as a preset, press and hold one of the Preset buttons while
listening to the station until you hear a beep. To change the name of the preset as it appears in
your display, see the “SoundBridge Radio Web Interface” chapter of this user guide.
SECTION 3: PLAYING INTERNET RADIO
Introduction
What is Internet radio? It’s thousands of radio stations, broadcast by a variety of entities, from
large companies to independent broadcasters, streaming digital audio over the Internet. There
are free Internet radio stations for BBC, NPR, ESPN, jazz, rock, hip hop, and many, many other
formats. With Internet radio, you can hear more of the music you love or discover new favorites;
you can also listen to free news, sports, weather, and talk radio. You can listen to stations in
other countries, or from the home town where you grew up. Internet radio offers the most
music selection of any type of radio, and most stations are free.
You can listen to Internet radio in one of four ways. First, you can listen to SoundBridge Radio’s
built-in set of radio stations located in the “Internet Radio” Library. Your computer does not
need to be on - all you need is an active Internet connection on your home network. Second,
you can enter a URL of a radio station playlist on the Presets tab of the SoundBridge Radio web
page. (This feature is described more in the “SoundBridge Radio Web Interface” chapter of
this user guide.) Third, you can use Roku Radio Snooper to find, test and set a radio station url
