Improvements to Net Radio

[jeffcora]

Sorry if these suggestions have previously been requested or can be done, but I would like to see a couple of (minor?) improvements to the Net Radio capability.

- Ability to group stations together, preferably by Net Radio understanding and being able to navigate through directories
- Ability to specify the storage location. It would be nice to store the pls files in a chosen location, rather under the 'Net Radio' directory where they can easily be forgotten and wiped out during re-installation etc.

Cheers

I would like to see this, too

Just to add to this I noticed that some grabbers seem to be able to pull lists of stations from Shoutcast via XML e.g. http://www.ihawk.org/scg/. In addition to GBPVR being able to run locally stored .pls files (which would basically become 'favorites'), it would be great for GBPVR to get a list of shoutcast stations via XML, display them in the interface and then when selected download a temporary copy of the selected pls files to play. This would provide the user with a more dynamic list of stations which could probably be categorised by genre etc. Rather than downloading the list every time the netradio feature is selected it would probably be better to hold a local copy of the xml file with the option to refresh it whenever required?

Think this would be a nice feature, but maybe that's just me

You might look into Streamripper for this.
