Radio tuner revamp

My homepage has a link to tune into my internet radio presets. This play list file is generated automatically by the web server, which checks whether each of my favourite stations is currently available.

I've updated some of the dead links for some Drum & Bass stations that have moved, and included some new Dubstep stations also. There's now also only one entry in the play list per station, to make channel hopping easier. This also makes the list load up quicker as it does fewer checks.

Give it a try, just click on the link to the file radio.m3u, it should open up in Media Player or iTunes etc. let me know what you think!

Glad to see RF88.1FM streaming from http://www.leedsdrumandbass.co.uk/ again… Drum and Bass music from the streets of Leeds

I've upgraded the jungletrain entry from 64kbps to 128kbps.

The play list generator is now more robust. Some stations that had problems, such as failed name server lookups were causing error messages that corrupted the play list. This meant that the next station in the list could have been obscured. There's also better handling for ShoutCast servers that respond with "Server is offline" instead of a valid ASX playlist (which upsets the XML parser). I've added Kool FM to the list as well.
