How to add stations to B&O Radio

10 replies
Hello Beoworlders, I found URLs for french stations broadcasted in Hifi Quality (16 bits, 48 kHz). How to have them available in B&O Radio? URLs are in the attached files (unfortunately I did not find the logos). Kind regards, Yann.

If not already available, when you search, the station must be added by B&O….as far as I know. MM

Not exactly on topic, but I just lost 2 of my favorite stations.  They are still in the list, but when select them, no music.  I'm guessing the station owners are closing down the "free" streams to push us to monetization.
@trackbeo Whatever you think… Bang & Olufsen Radio is a service provided by B&O for the devices they sell……not some kind of free-for-all-self-service. MM

Sirs, cool down please :) MM, how to "ask" B&O to add a station? Yann.

This forum's very *existence* is (in large part) because "Costumer[sic] Service" isn't, and therefore community-based "free-for-all-self-service" became necessary! Yes, @YannChris, please do post your path to success getting those streams recognized/loaded.  I for one would like to see the initial interaction with Customer Service... and hear (literally, too, haha) the ultimate resolution (literally, too, haha). That said, it should be simple if anybody at B&O bothers -- those "Icecast" streams from Radio France even play in my 10-year-old Firefox browser.  You probably know the ugly work-around (not app-based, no mybutton etc.) of playing them in your browser on some Apple-based device and using system software to Airplay to the B&O speaker.  Is it 16bit/48kHz?  I can't tell (Beosound 1 :-) ) but AirPlay is reputed to resample in some cases, alas.  (Likewise Android & Chromecast but I have no experience.  Supposedly 16/48 *is* their pass-thru rate!) [Edit: Or, on a more modern Mac than mine, use the "File/Open Stream URL..." menu item and Airplay from Apple's Music app, thus preserving system sound output to your Mac's main speakers.]
Done! Let's be positive and expect. But as I'm a cautious guy, I think I'll also send a request through the app :) Yann.

For that matter, rather than thinking small, perhaps suggest that [Triple-Dot] or [Gear] / Music/"Open Stream URL…" become standard in the B&O App alongside Deezer, Spotify, etc.  Self Service with a Smile! [Edit: deleted iTunes Library idea: app doesn't load shared libraries in local network]
